Format for links in the GA template

Instead of:

in the last line, I suggest changing it to:

Took me a bit to realize that "Review" in this GA template was linking to the discussion. The goal here is to make the links more obvious, and to remove the need for "Reviewed version" by hyperlinking the date instead. We could also substitute "Promoted to a Good Article on:" if that phrasing sounds better. Thoughts or other suggestions? --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:43, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

This seems pretty good, actually. It could also say something like:

jp×g 03:26, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm confused about what the first proposal is even supposed to be because I don't understand where the links would go, and in the second one I only understand because I know what the two links are to and I know the second link is the review. That suggests to me that it's not a good solution, though I can see that the current situation may also be confusing to others. How about "Version [permalink number] passed as a good article following this review on [date]"? — Bilorv (talk) 17:06, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 5 September 2018

Add "subtopic" as an alias for "topic". I'm not sure where this misconception is coming from, but I've seen loads of users try to use the non-existent parameter "subtopic". — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 17:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

 Done Bilorv I assume this is coming from {{GA nominee}} using |subtopic= Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:00, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, probably. Thanks! — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 10:53, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

I propose that my work at Special:Diff/1095069966 for the template be implemented. It is more consise by avoiding "one of the" (while also taking care of the a/an problem), and also de-italicizes "good article". Thanks. NotReallySoroka (talk) 05:19, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Graceful way to add an additional GA review

Hi folks, I have undertaken a re-evaluation of Hans Bethe as a Good Article (mainly because I think it's still a good article but it has been a while since it achieved that status, not because of any problems I've found with the article). In doing so, I ran into a question about how to use this template.

On Talk:Hans Bethe there is already a {{GA}} template, from the first time the article went through a thorough Good Article review from some folks.

I have added a second {{GA}} template, so that now the talk page starts like this:

{{GA|09:13, 28 July 2013 (UTC)|topic=Physics and astronomy|page=1|oldid=566127423}}
{{GA|date=20:54, 28 June 2022 (UTC)|topic=Physics and astronomy|page=2|oldid=1094482619}}

Is there a way to specify multiple dates for multiple reviews of an article for GA status, using the {{GA}} template once, or is the approach I'm using above of stacking {{GA}} templates up the normal way of doing things?
