== 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"><

== 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.

==for the last 3 or 4 years==
For the last 3 or 4 years I have asked that the template be modified to permit multiple templated reasons. If Twinkle can do it, AFCH can. At the very least, a prebuilt reason for the most common of all "insufficient sources for notability" and "promotional" can just be added as another line. For that, no programming required.

::This is [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/issues/78 tracked on GitHub].

== 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. [[User:Yashovardhan Dhanania|Yashovardhan]] ([[User talk:Yashovardhan Dhanania|talk]]) 05:59, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
:The devs actually [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/issues/61 talked about this] two years ago, but I said that nobody would ever try declining something with an active MfD. Maybe it's time to revisit that and disable declining, but we'd have to ask the WikiProject as a whole on [[WT:WPAFC]].

::{{u|Yashovardhan Dhanania}} & {{u|Enterprisey}} I routinely "suspend" such drafts from the review queue by placing it "under review" with the script and then posting a review comment "Suspending this draft from reviewing until the MFD is resolved".

::::::That's a good idea. How would the script need to change if we all followed that?

== AFC Helper script gives me a message instead of author ==
When I accepted [[CloudHealth_Technologies]], I got the message that was meant for the author on my talk page. I was not the creator nor the submitter. What did I do wrong? Regards, --{{User:Shadowowl/Sig}} 15:00, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
:{{u|Shadowowl}}, if the submission template isn't placed properly (i.e. there are no parameters provided), when AFCH accepts (and later [[Special:Diff/791329548|cleans up]]) the draft it notifies the last editor who changed the page.

== Does AFCH script have a problem with edit conflicts? ==
I noticed in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Kris_Kidd&diff=next&oldid=796595420 this edit] that my comments edit clobbered some recent (2 to 5 minutes earlier) edits by the submitter. This doesn't seem right. Can the addition of comments or a review be made more atomic (or if not atomic, at least confined to a few seconds)? Or am I doing something wrong?

::Bear in mind the script takes the version of the page you last loaded as current. Example, you load the page wait 10 minutes and fire up the script, which is working on how the page was 10 minutes ago, if you spend 5 minutes writing your comment, that comment will be inserted on the version from 15 minutes ago. A workaround is too refresh the page before commenting (after reading it) and to spend a limited amount of time actually writing your comments.

== Small mistake in link for random afc submission ==
When one accepts or declines a submission, it gives choices of random AFC submission ("Continue to next random submission (1937), GFOO submission (67), or very old submission").

== Categories ==
Apparently, the "Add categories" box now only lists categories that are already listed in the draft. For example, for [[Draft:Avant Festival]], only 4 categories are allowed in the categories box and any other category name will just display "No results match Foo" regardless of whether the categories actually exist or not.

I did check the CSD checkbox that appeared. I've since deleted the contents of the page and added that template manually. Would the checkbox have done anything else that I should do manually?

I'll update the instructions accordingly. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 13:21, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
== 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.
