Practical Test
Following are your tasks for the practical exam. When a task is completed, replace the Not done template with Done. You may also use Doing to indicate a task that is currently underway. All tasks must be marked completed before the time stated above.


 * ✅ - Patrol at least 4 pages in new page patrol Diffs: Rubi Rahman | Independent Bonn International School | Museum Aan de Stroom | Fighting Organisation for German Socialism

In the event you attempt to do a task above but a bot beats you the the task a ridiculously obscene number of times, please make a note of that here. I've tried to do similar tasks before and been incredibly frustrated by the automatic bots. You should be able to demonstrate that you put an honest effort into completing the task.
 * ✅ - Participate in at least two AfD debates with reasoned comments. Diffs:
 * - Cleanup at least three articles (i.e., resolve at least one noted problem on at least three articles and remove that tag) Diffs: [][][]
 * ✅ - Make at least 5 anti-vandal reversions and warn the vandals appropriately. Diffs: Done in the first test
 * - Make an informed judgement on an WP:RfA, giving your reasoning.

Note that if you were to look into being an admin, experience in these areas would be helpful - so feel free to carry on after finishing the test ;)

Written Test
Please leave your response to each question where indicated. Worm That Turned will check your responses at the end of the exam. Note that for some questions there may be multiple correct answers - as long as a response is in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, it will be marked correct.


 * 1) What is consensus, and how does it apply to Wikipedia policies?
 * A: Consensus is the result of community discussion. It applies to Wikipedia policies either to make changes to the policies or to give community discussion outcome, rather than opinions.
 * 1) You add a PROD tag to an article as it doesn't seem to be notable, but it gets removed by the author ten minutes later. You don't believe he's addressed the notability concerns, so what is one step you could take from here?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) Flip that situation around. You come across a PROD that you don't think should be deleted, and remove the tag. Your edit is reverted and you get a nasty note on your talk page. What do you do?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) When is it appropriate to report a vandal to administration?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) You mark a non-notable article for speedy deletion under CSD A7. Moments later, you notice in Recent Changes that the page has been blanked by the author. What do you do?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) You revert something thinking it's vandalism, but you get a rather irate reply on your talk page: "That's not vandalism! This is a serious fact covered my many research articles! How dare you accuse me of (insert type of vandalism here, as well as more complaints)!" You check, and sure enough, he's right. What do you do?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) I found an image on a website of a person that could be really useful in an article I'm writing about them. The website doesn't say the image is copyrighted, so what should I do to upload it to Wikipedia?
 * A:
 * 1) You've been a frequent contributor to an article and have helped get it so it's almost ready for nomination as a featured article. You log in one day to find that it's just been put up for AfD by a new user. Nobody has commented on the debate yet, so what should you do?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) If I wrote a template "foo" with this code, what would be displayed when I called it like this: Thanks again! ? Thanks for helping with ! It's a great help.
 * A: Answered in the first test.
 * 1) You're working with an new editor to cleanup a page they created. During the course of your discussions, you realize that the content of the article is an exact copy of a textbook the other editor is reading off of. What should you do?
 * A: Answered in the first test.
