ReviewsComments

1 Usage

The ReviewsComments template is used to store, in a page, a comment about the content (mainly, but not only, within the scope of the review process): question, disagreement, request for improvement etc. It should be added just before the line that is the object of the comment.

It puts a message box with a "pink notepad" icon in the page.

Only logged-in users who have writing permissions, can see this box. However, do not put any confidential information in the parameters of this template.

Usage:  {{ReviewsComments | <comment>}}

Where <comment> is the mandatory comment message. It is recommended that reviewers sign their comment

  • either with their MediaWiki signature plus timestamp thanks to the ~~~~ markup (replaced when saving),
  • or with their name's trigram and the week number (e.g. JCT w920 -) in the comment message.

A custom button in the Wikitext editor toolbar allows to insert a review comment (with the MediaWiki signature):
