Detailed example

Example use of the template which includes commonly used feedback comments:

<!-- Official topic development feedback -->
{{METF/2025
|1=
<!-- Title -->
# Title and sub-title correctly worded and use [[w:Letter case#Sentence casing|sentence casing]]
# Title and/or sub-title not correctly worded and/or didn't use [[w:Letter case#Sentence casing|sentence casing]] (fixed)
# User name removed from the page; for authorship see [[Special:History/{{PAGENAME}}|the page's edit history]]
|2=
<!-- Headings -->
# See earlier comment about [[#heading casing|heading casing]]
<!-- Heading structure -->
# Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure. Meaningful headings clearly relate directly to the core topic.
# Clear 2-level heading structure
# Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development and/or refinement
# Basic 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (expand)
# Promising 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (e.g., consider using subheadings)
# Basic, 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure (i.e., use subheadings)
# Under-developed, 1-level heading structure – develop further, perhaps using a 2-level structure for larger section(s) (i.e., including subheadings)
# The headings lack sufficient incision into, and exposition of, the topic
# Overly complicated 3-level structure – consider simplifying
# Revise heading structure to place less emphasis on background concepts and more emphasis on the target topic (i.e., address the sub-title). The draft headings place too much emphasis on background concepts and too little on the relationship between the concepts.
# Messy heading structure – needs work (see [[Motivation and emotion/Tutorials/Wiki editing|Tutorial 2]])
<!-- Alignment with focus questions -->
# Excellent alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure
# Very good alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure, but there may be room for improvement
# Good alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure, but there is room for improvement
# Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but aim for closer alignment
# Basic alignment between between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings. Aim to improve.
# Develop closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
# Insufficient alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
<!-- Other --->
# Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with 3 to 5 sub-headings for large sections
# The Overview and Conclusion should not use sub-headings
# Use default heading formatting (i.e., avoid additional formatting such as bold, italics, underline, changing the size etc.)
# Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
# "Introduction" heading isn't necessary – provide this information in Overview or move into subsequent sections
# Cover definition(s) in the Overview and/or subsequent sections with embedded inter-wiki link(s) to further information
# Case study doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed case study within relevant sections
# Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections
# Check grammar (e.g,. missing question mark)
# Remove [[wikt:acronym#Noun|acronym]]s from headings
# Remove citations from headings
<!-- GenAI --->
# Are the headings based on [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|genAI content]]? If so, this needs to be acknowledged in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity.
|3=
<!-- Overview-->
# Excellent – Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, and focus questions
# Very good
# Good
# Basic
# Insufficient
# Hasn't been developed – Needs scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, and focus questions
<!-- GenAI --->
# Does this section include [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|genAI content]]? If so, it needs to be acknowledged as such in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity.
<!-- Scenario -->
# A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section
# A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section; I moved an image into the feature box to help attract reader interest
# A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section; add an image to the scenario to help attract reader interest
# Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help engage reader interest
# A scenario or case study is planned
# Add a scenario or case study in a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help engage reader interest
<!-- Description -->
# A clear description of the problem/topic is planned or presented
# A promising description of the problem/topic is planned or presented
# A basic description of the problem/topic is planned or presented
# Simplify/abbreviate the description of the problem/topic. Move detail into subsequent sections.
# Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic
<!-- Style -->
# Use present, rather than future, tense
# Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios)
<!-- Focus questions -->
# Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings
# Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment
# Develop closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
# Use open- rather then close-ended focus questions
# Use single- rather than double-barrelled focus questions
# Use bullet-points (see [[Motivation and emotion/Tutorials/Wiki editing|Tutorial 02]])
# Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section
|4=
<!-- Key points-->
<!-- Overall -->
# Excellent – key points are well developed for each section
# Solid development
# Promising development
# Overly broad/comprehensive; not sufficiently focused/targetted on the topic; this often occurs when genAI content is used by a prompter with insufficient background reading and understanding of the topic and/or insufficient revising and rewriting of genAI content
# Basic development
# Partial development
# Insufficient development
# No development
<!-- Scope -->
# The scope is excellent (i.e., not too little/narrow or too big/broad)
# It may be that all planned aspects cannot be reasonably covered within the book chapter word count, so be selective and concentrate on key aspects that address the question in the sub-title
# It is unlikely that all planned aspects can be reasonably covered within the book chapter word count, so be selective and concentrate on the most important aspects which address the question in the sub-title
# All planned aspects cannot reasonably be covered within the book chapter word count, so be selective and concentrate on the most important aspects which  address the question in the sub-title
<!-- Writing style -->
# The writing style is clear and easy to follow
# The writing style is generally clear but could be simplified or made more concise
# The writing style is difficult to follow (e.g., due to vagueness, complex wording, long sentences, long paragraphs, repetition, etc.)
<!-- Theory and research -->
# Good balance of theory and research
# Promising balance of theory and research
# Reasonably good coverage of theory; strive to balance the theoretical content with critical review of relevant research
# Too much theory. Not enough research. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples. 
# Select the best theories about this topic
# Select the best research about this topic
<!-- Citations -->
# Excellent use of citations
# Very good use of citations
# Good use of citations
# Basic use of citations
# Insufficient use of citations
# Non-peer-reviewed sources should be moved to the "External links" section
# Tip: Rather than starting with an author name and citation, start with the more interesting part (i.e., the substance) and put the citation at the end or mid-way through the sentence
<!-- Citation style -->
# Use [https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/basic-principles APA style 7th edition for citations] (e.g., do not include author initials)
# Use [https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/basic-principles APA style 7th edition for citations] with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year)
# [https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/punctuation/serial-comma APA style uses serial commas][[w:Serial comma|1]][https://www.buzzfeed.com/adamdavis/the-oxford-comma-is-extremely-important-and-everyone-should 2][https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBx8ooDupXY 3] (1 min)
<!-- Other -->
# For sections with sub-sections, provide key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
# ''Avoid providing too much background information''. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Focus most of the chapter on ''directly answering the core question(s)'' posed by the chapter sub-title.
# Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) – even better, express the idea in your own words
# Use correct capitalisation ([https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization APA style is a "down" style]) – [https://polishedpaper.com/blog/capitalization-apa-style more info]
# Use [https://www.aresearchguide.com/write-in-third-person.html 3rd person perspective], although a case study or feature box could use 1st or 2nd person perspective
# Use [https://www.abc.net.au/education/learn-english/australian-vs-american-spelling/11244196 Australian spelling] (e.g., analyze → analyse; behavior → behaviour)
# Move references into the References section. Keep citations in the main body.
# Consider using the [https://unicanberra.instructure.com/courses/15707/external_tools/262?display=borderless Studiosity] service and/or a service like [https://www.grammarly.com/ Grammarly] to help improve the quality of written expression and to check grammatical and spelling errors
<!-- GenAI --->
