• When making new cards ensure to add a unique tag to ALL submitted cards for peer review:

#Malleus_CM::!TO_DO!::Peer_Review::[YOUR_ANKIHUB_USERNAME]

• If appropriate feel free to append the above tagging structure with a particular topic heading to help group cards on particular topics together to make peer review easy for other maintainers, for example:

#Malleus_CM::!TO_DO!::Peer_Review::AnkiHub_Username::GCS_Cards

• Select (highlight) all new cards and submit once completed to the Malleus deck WITHOUT review (by clicking on the ‘submit without review’ checkbox)
• Note you can assign the most appropriate drop-down for ‘change type’ based on the change you’re making ie;
  • Updated content
  • New content
  • Spelling/Grammar
  • Content error
  • New card to add
  • New tags

• If you complete a topic, make sure to change the ‘completion status’ to “Complete” on the ‣ ‘Card Creation’ table
• Await peer review and be sure to check the #Card_Discussion_Forum discord forum for any posts that might tag you

Reviewing cards awaiting peer review

• View all cards under with the Peer_Review tag
• Review cards to ensure alignment with the Card Submission Guidelines
• Original authors of cards should never remove their own peer review tag, unless they have responded to a forum post from another Maintainer and made the appropriate amendments to the cards (or provided an adequate rebuttel to criticism)
• Please respond to peer review forum posts as soon as feasible; all edits to cards are ultimately the responsibility of the original card authors
