Incubated article templates
{{Article Incubator}} - Clearly identify articles that are currently in incubation Add {{Article Incubator|status=TheStatus}} to the top of the article where status is one of the following:
  • status=new - has been moved into the incubator, but improvement has not yet begun
  • status=start - improvement has begun, but the article still needs work
  • status=eval - thought to be ready for mainspace and is waiting evaluation from an uninvolved editor
  • status=delete - has been stagnant for at least a month; or, is in an excluded type & needs removed
{{Incu-grad}} - Clearly identify articles that were developed in the incubator and are now back in mainspace Add {{Incu-grad|class=AssessedClass}} to the talk page of the article where class is an optional parameter assessing the article as explained here.
User talk page templates
{{subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incu-notify|subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incu-notify}} - Inform a user that an article they created has been incubated. Use if they didn't received prior notification about possible deletion. {{subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incu-notify | article=TheArticle | reason=TheReason}} where "TheArticle" is the mainspace name of the article moved and "TheReason" is an optional parameter to specific the reason (A7, G10) it wasn't mainspace ready. See WP:Article Incubator/Incu-notify for full documentation. Hello Example,

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your efforts here are appreciated, but unfortunately it appears an article you created - Cat - wasn't quite up to our standards. However, I decided the article has potential and have moved it into the article incubator to help it develop. The incubator is designed to help articles develop in an environment that is free from the pressures of impending deletion. To continue working on your article, please visit Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Cat.

If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask and I will be glad to help. Example2 (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incu-notify-del|subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incu-notify-del}} - Inform a user that an article they created has been incubated. Use if they previously received a templated notice about possible deletion. Place {{subst:Incu-notify-del | TheArticle}} directly a prior deletion notice. "TheArticle" is the mainspace name of the article incubated.

Good news

Hello Example,

Instead of being deleted, the article Cat has been moved into the article incubator. The incubator is a collaborative environment aimed at helping new articles be brought up to Wikipedia's standards in an environment that is free from the pressures of impending deletion.

{{subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incubate from userfied|subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incubate from userfied}}
Where an article has already been userfied, use this to tell the user that you propose to move the article from their userspace to the incubator.
{{subst:WP:Article Incubator/Incubate from userfied | TheArticle | TheUser}} where "TheArticle" is the name of a sub-page in TheUser's userspace (e.g. "Cool article" would refer to the page "User:TheUser/Cool article". If the second parameter is omitted the template will use the userspace it is placed in its place. Hi. I notice that the article, TheArticle was moved out of the encyclopedia and into your user space. If you don't object, I would like to move this article to the Wikipedia:Article Incubator, a new project that helps develop articles up to Wikipedia standards without the articles being threatened by deletion.

What I'm proposing is this: I will move User:TheUser/TheArticle to Wikipedia:Article Incubator/TheArticle. In that location, it will be brought to the attention of many editors who can help improve it so that we'll be able to move it back into the proper encyclopedia soon.

Please let me know if you object to this for any reason, or if you have any questions or concerns. In the mean time, I am going to go ahead and move your user space article to the incubator. Thanks for your contributions. Example (talk) 23:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
