== Bug? ==
I started using AFCH a few days ago, without adding myself to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Participants|participants list]]. Then today a message appeared in the top right corner saying that I couldn't use the tool because I wasn't on the list. I've joined now, but is this a bug letting non-participants use AFCH? --[[User:AmaryllisGardener|<
:The whitelist feature was only turned on in the last few days. Before then, anyone could use the tool without adding themselves to the participants list.

== Review tab on userpages and other pages not pending submission ==
Recently, I've been seeing the review tab on user pages and other pages outside of the article namespace that are not pending AfC submission, or are eligible for G13 deletion. What's going on? [[User:HMSSolent|<
== "Accept" is not working ==
Line 103:
== Point at which script decides to add tags, and whitespace issues ==
When accepting an article I've had an issue a couple of times when the script executes its cleanup edit. The script seems to be fond of leaving large gaps at the top of accepted articles and removing blank lines ''before'' a section header, but insisting on inserting a blank line ''after'' a section header. If anything, it should surely be the opposite? See [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vikas_Joshi&diff=prev&oldid=612769405] also the script added a linkrot tag based on the presence of a single bare URL ref. Can this be watered-down so that it only adds tags to articles with multiple bare URLs -- at least two perhaps? [[User:Bellerophon|<span style="font:small-caps 1.0em Alexandria,serif;color=#00008B;">'''Bellerophon'''
* {{U|Theopolisme}}, the space below instead of above the header thing has been an annoyance to me as well. That should certainly be reversed. The large gaps at the top of the article, I'm assuming, has to do with incomplete cleaning of the submission template space (yet another reason this stuff should be moved to the separate /editnotice page and included via a guided tour (JavaScript)), which I'm sure is usually caused by malformed submission templates, comments, or some other intervening factor which would be very difficult for the script's cleanup code to detect and fix. I personally like the adding of linkrot tags even if only one bare URL exists, although I wouldn't be opposed if it ran the citation expander and reflinks in seperate tabs to try and fix the issues before doing so, if that is possible. I'd think it is, although it would slow processing down some, not sure if that is worth the trade-off. Perhaps there needs to be a community discussion about whether or not this should be done? Actually, if it adds the tags and then runs those tools in separate tabs, those tools should remove the tags if it fixes the issue I think, so it wouldn't slow anything down... Hrmmm..

I'm not entirely sure where to go with this, and it might not be a helperscript function, but sometimes it won't let me add a valid WikiProject. For instance, I want to add [[WP:WikiProject Classical music]], which I know to be a valid Project, but helperscript is not recognizing it. Not a big deal, I can add it manually later, but I am curious as to where the disconnect is. Thanks! [[User:78.26|<span style="border:1px solid black;color:red; padding:1px;background:1h5h1h"><

== Question ==
Is there any way, if the script's automated notification to a draft submitter about the acceptance or rejection of their article is ''creating'' a new user talk page that didn't already exist, to turn ''off'' having that new user talk page ''automatically'' added to my watchlist? These are not generally pages I want to watch as a rule, and the added step of having to manually dewatchlist them after the fact is kind of annoying — I'd much rather manually select the ''extremely'' rare instances where I actually ''do'' want to do that for some reason, instead of having to manually deselect the many more cases where I don't.

:I've looked into this a bit. When we send a user a message, it doesn't look like we're asking the API to avoid watchlisting the page; instead, we use the default behavior, which is to look at your preferences and follow them. By default, your preferences tell us to add every page you create to the watchlist, hence all these new user talk pages being added to your watchlist. I'm going to change it so that user talk pages never get added to your watchlist; you can track the progress of this change [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/pull/76 here]. Hope this helps!

== "Submission is about a person who does not meet notability guidelines" ==
Hi, we have just had a user posting in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#How_to_delete_AFC_draft_article Teahouse] getting a bit upset at the wording of the edit summary "Submission is about a person who does not meet notability guidelines" which does not match what is actually posted that "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability". They took this quite badly "With that battle mentality, it will not go anywhere" and although I think they are just a bit frustrated I do agree that the wording could be a bit more in-line with the actual decline wording as not to [[Wikipedia:bite|bite]]. Regards [[User:KylieTastic|KylieTastic]] ([[User talk:KylieTastic|talk]]) 14:17, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
*I fully agree. Can we change this to "Submission is about a person not yet shown to meet notability guidelines", please? That is both more accurate and less [[WP:BITE|bitey]]. [[User:DESiegel|DES]] [[User talk:DESiegel|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 18:25, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
*:I like that a lot. All of the other "notability" decline summaries should be changed in parallel, too, right? (Note to self: the summaries are stored in the script [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/blob/master/src/templates/tpl-submissions.html#L204 here].) [[User:APerson|APerson]] ([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 19:51, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
*:+1 for [[User:DESiegel|DES]]'s wording. Can it also be changed (albeit shortened) in the tool? I've hesitated to use that option because it did sound bitey, but in fact it's often the right thing to say because it points them to BLP issues, which they need to pay attention to. [[User:LaMona|LaMona]] ([[User talk:LaMona|talk]]) 16:28, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
::I agree as to the wording of all of the notability decline messages. There are two possible reasons why a draft could be declined on notability grounds, and the reviewer doesn't know which is the case. Either the person, company, process, or thing isn't notable, or the author hasn't established the notability of the person, company, process, or thing. It isn't the reviewer's job to determine which, by doing a lengthy Google search or whatever (although some helpful Teahouse hosts will do that). If the reviewer sees that the sources aren't listed, the reviewer should decline, and doesn't need to determine whether they exist, and the new editor didn't find them, or whether they don't exist, and the new editor should give up on this topic and pursue something else. Change the wording of all of the notability declines. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 16:55, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
::Oh. That particular flaming combative editor who sees a cabal of anti-feminist gatekeepers. Well, they aren't likely to accomplish anything in Wikipedia, but the templates should still be revised so that they say that the draft does not establish notability, not that the subject does not meet notability. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 16:59, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Is there a viable alternative to the currect copyvio detection routine built into the script? This is obviously an urgent problem as stopping copyvios is one of our main tasks. [[User:Dodger67|Roger (Dodger67)]] ([[User talk:Dodger67|talk]]) 10:58, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
== Did I enter too long a comment at [[Draft:Igboanugo Chukwunonso Samuel]]? ==
In declining [[Draft:Igboanugo Chukwunonso Samuel]], I entered a lengthy comment. Can someone please take a look to see whether I "broke" the AFC comment template, so that the curly braces are displaying in the commentary? If there is a limit on the number of characters, maybe the template should warn the reviewer. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 02:21, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

== Script breaking a reference ==
Please check out [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3AHenry_Alan_Green&type=revision&diff=721579449&oldid=721579321 this edit]. It appears the script, while trying to tidy up a reference, inadvertently breaks it. Possibly this is due to an edit conflict; the immediately preceding edit was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Henry_Alan_Green&diff=prev&oldid=721579321 this]. [[User:Huon|Huon]] ([[User talk:Huon|talk]]) 00:05, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:Definitely due to an edit conflict. When you open it, the script read in the wikitext, so when you hit "Decline", the script took its (outdated) wikitext, applied the decline, and saved the result. [[User:APerson|APerson]] ([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 00:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
::Can this be fixed or at least made less likely? Can the script be made to only read the wikitext when you hit "Decline", minimizing the time between reading and writing the text? [[User:Huon|Huon]] ([[User talk:Huon|talk]]) 00:29, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:::Looked into it a bit; a lot of the interface is based on that initial wikitext read, so it would be hard to move the read to the moment that the user chooses to decline the draft. However, it seems like it should be possible to make the script do another wikitext read and refresh of its internal state right before it applies the decline. I'll try to start working on this.

== [[Draft:Vulcanolepas osheai]] ==
I moved this draft from a sandbox to its present ___location, and now it doesn't display the AFCH tab, so that I can't make a comment indicating minor actions to be taken before acceptance, and I can't accept or decline it.

::Hi folks. Past main developer here. The user who took control of the script following my inactivity, [[User:APerson]], recently changed their username to [[User:Enterprisey]]. This broke the tool, since APerson stored the script in their own personal userspace: essentially what happens now is that when the script attempts to load, rather than fetching the needed code, it just receives the text of the redirect page. {{ping|Enterprisey}} you can fix this by reuploading the script to your (now renamed) userspace using the <code>upload.py</code> script. The specifically offending line is the hardcoded <code>AFCH.consts.baseurl = AFCH.consts.scriptpath + '?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&title=User:APerson/afch-master.js';</code>, which will be fixed when you redeploy.

== Two or More Decline Reasons ==
This question has been asked before. Can the possibility be implemented for a reviewer to select more than one reason for declining a draft?

:::It would be a good idea. (Making this comment possibly to avoid archival.) With poor-quality submissions, there are often at least two problems. The inability of the reviewer to specify two reasons in those cases means that either the reviewer has to identify the other reason in the comments, or the author tries to address the named issue, gets declined for the second reason, and then the author complains.

== Did AFCH stop adding the bio template with description/birthplace? ==
I see that AFCH still asks for birth/death place and personal description, but I'm not seeing the little template at the end that lists those things like it used to. Are those filed deprecated now? The bio AFCH does still add the birth/death categories and the Defaultsort so still good there. [[User:MatthewVanitas|MatthewVanitas]] ([[User talk:MatthewVanitas|talk]]) 21:30, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
== Add draft template option ==
When viewing an unsubmitted page in the draft namespace, there are currently two buttons, Comment and Submit. I would like there to be a third button to add an AFC draft template that works exactly as the submit button does, just with a different template.

== Suggestion for added feature ==
Hopefully this is the correct ___location for a suggestion and if not that someone will let me know. I would like to suggest that a declination reason be added to AFCH for tendentious editing resubmissions. For instance, the editor made insignificant changes (changed a couple words) and then resubmitted or just resubmitted without making any other changes. What do you think? --[[User:TheSandDoctor|TheSandDoctor]] ([[User talk:TheSandDoctor|talk]]) 16:55, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
:I feel like declining it for the same reason that the previous reviewer used, together with a comment explaining that repeated resubmissions won't result in a different result, would probably work fine. Of course, if the number of resubmissions on a draft is truly excessive (near 10 for sure, although lower might be appropriate), MfD is another possibility for it.

== Removal of MFD tag when using afch ==
Now, I noticed this at [[Draft:Zebronics]] which is at [[WP:MFD]]. When it was declined by a reviewer, the mfd template got removed. I think it should be programmed to automatically detect such templates and avoid removing them. Also,an option to decline and send it to MFD through afch itself would help as well as generally the decline reason would be the same as the reason to MFD it.

::Bear in mind the script takes the version of the page you last loaded as current.

== Blank Submission ==
One of the reasons that a reviewer can check for a decline is that the submission is blank. We need that. However, the text that is provided then isn't really appropriate to the cases where we get blank submissions. The text says that we do not accept blank submissions, and that the user should go to [[WP:RA|Requested Articles]]. That seems to be oriented to a case where the editor has provided a title, but nothing else, such as [[James Z. Smith]]. I don't see that at AFC (a title and a blank page). What I do sometimes see is a completely blank page, in the sandbox, with no title, but that has been submitted. In this case, I don't think that the editor is requesting an article. I think that the editor is trying to do something, and we don't know what the editor is trying to do, or may just be playing. I have said that the submission has no content, and that if they are trying to create a draft, they may want to ask for help at [[WP:THQ|the Teahouse]]. However, I don't see the situation where a blank submission has a title, and so can be viewed as an article request. Thoughts?

:For reference, the text of the |blank| decline is:
:{{talk quote|We're sorry, but we cannot accept blank submissions. Please consider submitting to [[Wikipedia:Requested articles]] instead. If in fact you did include text within the article, but it isn't showing, please make sure that any extra text above your entry is removed, as it may be causing it to hide and not be shown to the reviewer. }}
:I agree that the language could be changed. Will have a think. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 16:33, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
==WikiProject Military History is not an available option on AFCH?==
Longstanding issue that I'm finally bringing up: it appears that WPMILHIST is not an automatic option in the WikiProject field of AFCH. Tried to find it under a number of renderings and it's just not there. MILHIST is a huge and very active project, so tagging articles properly with it is actually really productive and practically guarantees an assessment visit by a project member. Am I missing something, or is this an oversight that can be corrected? Thanks! [[User:MatthewVanitas|MatthewVanitas]] ([[User talk:MatthewVanitas|talk]]) 01:16, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
:Yeah, neither is Pop Culture (and a few others that I discovered yesterday). {{u|Enterprisey}} will know more - I thought it had something to do with how the projects were searched/filed, but I'm not really sure. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 01:45, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
::I have had the same complaint about military history. Can something be done? [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 02:29, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
:::A short-term fix for this is an admin going to [[User:Theo's Little Bot/afchwikiproject.js]] and adding the line <tt>"Military History": "Wikiproject Military history",</tt> (don't forget the comma on the end!) in the alphabetically appropriate ___location.

::::{{done}}. Also added pop culture while I was at it. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 04:33, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Primefac}} thanks! [[User:MatthewVanitas|MatthewVanitas]] ([[User talk:MatthewVanitas|talk]]) 03:08, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
{{deindent}}
{{ping|Primefac}} not to be ungrateful, but I'm still not seeing MILHIST pop up in the WikiProjects field when I type in "military". Am I doing something wrong, or has it not processed yet? [[User:MatthewVanitas|MatthewVanitas]] ([[User talk:MatthewVanitas|talk]]) 23:12, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
:{{bcc|Enterprisey}}No idea; I was just following directions. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 01:08, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
::Weird. Debugging now. [[User:Enterprisey|Enterprisey]] ([[User talk:Enterprisey|talk!]]) 20:43, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
:::Should be fixed. [[User:Enterprisey|Enterprisey]] ([[User talk:Enterprisey|talk!]]) 20:50, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
::::And I should probably document what I did, for posterity. The script caches the list of WikiProjects very aggressively, only updating it when the AFCH version is bumped. To do this, we generate a key (variable name: <tt>lsKey</tt>, near the top of <tt>showAcceptOptions</tt> in <tt>src/modules/submissions.js</tt>) that is tied to the local cache. Whenever you change the list and want to trigger an update to everyone's caches, change the number on the end. This is a bit of a hack, and I'll see if I can get a "last time of modification"-based approach going eventually.
