 * Tally A-Class Reviews. As only those editors who complete at least one Milhist A-Class review receive an award, start by tallying them.
 * Tally Good Article Reviews.
 * Tally Peer Reviews.
 * Tally Featured Article Reviews.
 * Tally the total number of points for each editor and add them to the Total column of the Quarterly Reviewing Table.
 * Award all reviewers in accordance with the following schedule (the award templates are all available under "Military history awards" below):
 * 15+ points – the WikiChevrons
 * 8–14 points – the Content Review Medal of Merit (Military history)
 * 4–7 points – the Milhist reviewing award (2 stripes)
 * 1-3 points – the Milhist reviewing award (1 stripe)

The Bot does not tally the results the same way that the humans do. Instead, it looks through the announcements page (which it updates daily) to find all the reviews. Then it looks through the change history of each one. Every edit by someone other than a nominator or a Bot is considered part of a review. All awards will have to be approved by a coordinator.

 * trusting you can work the the WikiProject on any small changes they need. This is also a blanket approval for any bot updates to subpages of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history provided you coordinate with the WikiProject members. —  xaosflux  Talk 18:48, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
