So recently, I archived [[Forum:Fanon quality discussion|a discussion about fanon quality]], as it hadn't been commented on in about two months. It's unfortunate, especially since many valid points were raised, and no solution was ever really agreed to. Add to this [[Forum:Featured Content voting issue|our ongoing discussion of low participation in Fanon Battles and other featured content]], and the demise of Featured Fanon and Featured Fanfic. Taking all this together, it occurred to me that there might be a way to solve &mdash; or at least work towards solving &mdash; all of these issues.

The article would also be given a category based on what rating it received. Thoughts? &#8213;'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">The</font>]] [[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Tim</font>]] [[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">Man</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • [http://hallows-maleficent.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Hallows Maleficent] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Why I'm here in the first place</font>]])'''</sup> 14:28, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
:{{Not done}} Regarding the template: on the whole, I don't like it. I think the boilerplate text of the "after review" version of the template should be relatively short. The grade descriptions I gave above should be considered as a rubric when setting the rating, but not all elements will apply in all cases. For example, an article may be rated at "satisfactory" simply because it is grammatically incorrect, even if other elements of the article are up to "good" or "excellent" standard. Additionally, I don't know if I favor use of the FPRT acronym; it's something that isn't likely to be well-understood by newcomers.
:It's good work, but I think it should go in a different direction. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 19:03, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
::{{Neutral}}'''Comment''': Does it really have to be abbreviated? It's not something I sort of fancy. And as LiR already stated, some newcomers could find it confusing. ~ [[User:Beds|<font color="purple">'''Beds'''</font>]] <sup>([[User_talk:Beds|<font color="#66CDAA">'''talk'''</font>]] - [[User_blog:Beds|<font color="#66CDAA">'''blog'''</font>]])</sup> 22:04, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
:::In addition to what Beds has said, I also find the template too long, and thus I find it too big. -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 22:29, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
I have revised the template according to the feedback. I have added a 'reason' parameter which will allow the reviewer to specify the reason for the rating. Please see the run-through for revised instructions. &#8213;'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">The</font>]] [[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Tim</font>]] [[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">Man</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Contribs</font>]])'''</sup> 22:45, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
I created a template that I feel would work better. It's called {{t|Peer review}}. Let me demonstrate
 
{{Peer review}}
 
This displays the standard "requesting review" message. Once an FPRT member responds, they complete the template with: {{t|Peer review|rating|reason for rating|signature}}
 
See below:

:{{Done|Support}} - I agree that this template looks better. &#8213;'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">The</font>]] [[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Tim</font>]] [[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">Man</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Contribs</font>]])'''</sup> 23:44, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
Also, I've created the page for the [[The Sims Wiki:Fanon Peer Review Team|Fanon Peer Review Team]]! - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 23:45, April 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
==Conclusion==
The FPRT has been created. Any further issues regarding it can be discussed on the [[The Sims Wiki talk:Fanon Peer Review Team|FPRT talk page]], or in a new community discussion thread. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 20:26, April 30, 2015 (UTC)
