# Examine the talk page.  Make sure it's clear that there are three editors who are in agreement about the approvability of the article, or, if it seems there is an individual approval going on, make sure that the person approving the article has not worked much on the article.  (For that, examine the article's history.)

# Make the Draft page:
# Go to the article's Metadata page. 
#* Copy the ''current'' version of the article (i.e., the one you see by simply clicking "edit"), and paste it into a new "Draft" page.  If the article name is "XYZ" then the draft page name is "XYZ/Draft".
#* Change the status to "0". 
#* At the top of that page, make a link back to the approved version of the article:
#* Type the names of the approving editors in the Approved section of the template. 
#*:"Most recent approved version: <nowiki>[[XYZ]]</nowiki>"
#* Select and Copy all fields from ''cat1 to date''. 
#* On the Article/Draft page, comment out the article's categories.  To do this, simply surround the template code with

#* Create a category link to the workgroup for the Draft page by adding a category to the bottom of the Draft page:

#*:<code><nowiki>[[Category:{{{Group}}}_Workgroup_Draft]]</nowiki></code>
#* Paste the ''cat1 to date'' fields into the {{tl|approval}} template.

#*** Paste the contents of the XYZ/Draft into this page.
#* '''If the latest version ''is not'' the version that is approved''':
#** Make the Draft page:
#*** Copy the ''current'' version of the article and paste it into a newly created "Draft" page by going to the address bar on your browser and adding /Draft to the text that is already there.  If the article name is "XYZ" then the draft page name is "XYZ/Draft".
#*** Click on the XYZ talk page ''Move'' tab.  Type in the new location of the new talk page <nowiki>[[Talk:XYZ/Draft]]</nowiki>.  A redirect will automatically be made so that all discussion will remain together on the talk draft page.

#* On the talk page of the article to be approved, where you find the article's <nowiki>{{ToApprove}}</nowiki> template, click through to the URL supplied by the approving editor.  Copy the text there.
#* Edit the main namespace version of the article.  Delete whatever is there, and replace it with what you copied from the approved page.
#* At the very top of the article, put in the <nowiki>{{approved}}</nowiki> template.  This requires that you copy the ''exact'' editor username and group name.  Here is the form:
#*::<code><nowiki>{{approved|editor=APPROVER USERNAME|group=GROUP NAME}}</nowiki></code>
#*:For example:
#*::<code><nowiki>{{approved|editor=Nancy Sculerati MD|group=Biology}}</nowiki></code>

#*::<code><nowiki>{{approved|editor=APPROVER USERNAME|group=GROUP NAME|group2=GROUP2 NAME|abc=ARTICLE NAME SORTED}}</nowiki></code>
#*:The group2 field should be used when a second workgroup has oversight.
#*:The abc field should be used for all biographies so they are sorted by last names.  For example, the [[Barbara McClintock]] approval template is written as '''abc = McClintock, Barbara''' so the article is sorted under M rather than B.  This field can be useful for non bigraphical articles too; a hypothetical example is 'List of Biologists' that that would use the abc field in the following formatt: '''abc = Biologists, List of'''.

  1. Examine the talk page. Make sure it's clear that there are three editors who are in agreement about the approvability of the article, or, if it seems there is an individual approval going on, make sure that the person approving the article has not worked much on the article. (For that, examine the article's history.)
  2. Go to the article's Metadata page.
    • Change the status to "0".
    • Type the names of the approving editors in the Approved section of the template.
    • Select and Copy all fields from cat1 to date.
    • Blank all the ToApprove fields.
    • Save
  3. Go to the articles Approval page.
    • Paste the cat1 to date fields into the {{approval}} template.
    • Save
  4. Create the Article and the Draft page:
    • If the latest version is also the version that was approved:
      • Click on the "Move" tab of the Approved article. When asked for the new name, type the name of the article with the extension "/Draft".

    • If the latest version is not the version that is approved:
      • Make the Draft page:
        • Copy the current version of the article and paste it into a newly created "Draft" page by going to the address bar on your browser and adding /Draft to the text that is already there. If the article name is "XYZ" then the draft page name is "XYZ/Draft".
        • Click on the XYZ talk page Move tab. Type in the new location of the new talk page [[Talk:XYZ/Draft]]. A redirect will automatically be made so that all discussion will remain together on the talk draft page.
      • Make the Article page:
        • Return to the XYZ page and click on the 'Version date' in the ToApprove template. This should bring you to the Approved version of the article.
        • Click the edit button and select and copy that version of the article. Click Cancel.
        • Click 'article' and 'edit'.
        • Delete the text that is there and paste the contents that you copied earlier in its place.
    • Save. You're done making the Draft page.

  6. Protect the article talk page redirect page in the same manner.
  7. Insert this template at the bottom of the talk page to separate the before approval article discussion from the after approval discussion.
==APPROVED Version 1.0==
<div class="usermessage plainlinks">Discussion for [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=PAGE ID Version 1.0] stopped here. Please continue further discussion under this break. </div>
Make sure to put the current version in the PAGE ID space. An example should look like this:
Discussion for Version 1.0 stopped here. Please continue further discussion under this break.
