This is a template for the proposed pre-review process. Currently there is no agreed-upon pre-review process. Maybe there shouldn't even be one. Consider joining the discussion: |

This template can be used in two ways:
- Authors can use the template to request a pre-review.
- Pre-reviewers can use the template to communicate an evaluation of an article before it is reviewed.
Pre-reviewed articles can help both authors and reviewers successfully publish articles.
Usage
[edit]To request that a pre-review be performed on an article, place {{pre-review}} at the top of the article.
To pre-review an article, perform any desired edits to the article to help improve it as the first part of your pre-review. Explain all edits in the edit summary and link to existing policy when appropriate (local links work in edit summaries).
Place this template in a new section titled "Pre-review" on the talk page of the article you have pre-reviewed. Provide values for each parameter (see template data below).
The template will format the findings of the pre-review in a consistent format that is similar to a formal review.
If a request was made for a pre-review by adding the template to the article (not the Talk page), remove it from the article once you complete the pre-review.
