Description
This template is used to advertise on an article's talk page the result of a review. It is designed to be simple to use, yet informative.
Please consider returning an article to {{develop}}ment with a comment on additional work needed prior to review, and notifying the original contributor, if you do not go through all the steps of the review process. A copy of the develop template with any parameters will display in red, and should ideally be placed at the top of the article to draw attention to it.
