3. Edit the article talk page, removing {{FAC}} and adding or updating {{ArticleHistory}}.[3] Set |currentstatus=FA and update the project assessments, setting |class=FA

FAR closing
Closed FARs are moved to a single log, at
Wikipedia:Featured article review/archive. (Nominations closed during the current month are appended to the bottom, under the heading 'Kept status' or 'Removed status'; after the month is over, they are moved to a subpage archive, linked from that page.)
1. Edit the nomination page:
A. Remove the line which transcluded article links and featured article tools[2]
B. Tag the top of the page with {{subst:FAR top|result=}} where result=
kept by [[User:Username|Username]] timestamp [diff] or
removed by [[User:Username|Username]] timestamp [diff
C. Tag the bottom of the page with {{subst:FAR bottom}}.
For kept FARs:
2. Edit the article talk page, removing {{FAR}} and adding or updating {{ArticleHistory}}.
For removed FARs:
2. Edit the article talk page, removing {{FAR}} and adding or updating {{ArticleHistory}}, setting |currentstatus=FFA. Also blank any FA-class assessments.
3. If the article has an editnotice specifically because it was an FA, remove or alter the editnotice to reflect the article's current status.
4. Remove {{featured article}} from the article page.
^ All FACs moved to the logs should be processed for closing, regardless of whether they were moved by a coordinator: a small group of FAC regulars have been entrusted to archive withdrawn nominations. (Alternatively, we could provide those names.)

abThe line transcluding the article links and featured article tools—which should be removed when a FAC or FAR is closed—looks like this: <noinclude>{{la|Articlename}} {{Wikipedia:Featured article tools|1=Articlename}}</noinclude>

The following demonstrates how to update article history. The example assumes there is already one set of article history (e.g. for GAN), which would constitute the action1 series of parameters. Adapt the action2link and action2oldid parameters below for the FAC you are closing:
action2 = FAC
action2date = ~~~~~
Five tildes automatically inserts the date and time
This is the title of the FAC page (without the square brackets of wikilinks or the curly brackets of transclusions).
action2result = promoted
action2oldid = 622472917
To find the oldid, open the promoted article in another browser tab. From the toolbox on the left, select "Permanent link". The oldid is the long number at the right end of the URL (address) bar in the top of your browser:
