== About ==
This template places a small green circle with a plus sign ([[File:Symbol support vote.svg|14px]]) in the top right corner of an article to indicate that it is a [[WP:Good articles|good article on Wikipedia]], and that it has met the [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|good article criteria]], successfully passing the [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations|good article nomination process]]. It also categorizes them into [[:Category:Good articles]].

== Usage ==
This template should be placed at the top of the article after hatnotes. It should be removed if a good article fails a [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment|good article reassessment nomination]], as well as articles that have never passed a good article nomination before. If a good article is subsequently promoted to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article status]], this template is then replaced by [[Template:Featured article]].
