This question is about the terminology to be used when a draft is not accepted but may be reworked or improved and resubmitted. This action is currently referred to in the AFC Helper script and at the messages provided to the author as being '''Declined'''. There has been discussion at the Village Pump at [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Declined_vs_rejected_at_AfC]]. Should the terminology for the three possible actions by a reviewer be:

Currently, there are open [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341760#9269957 phab] [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118132 tickets] proposing that the use of the HistMerge tool be logged at the target article in addition to the source article. Several proposals have been made:

*'''A''' - '''Accepted''', '''Declined''', and '''Rejected'''? (The present options)

*'''Option 1a''': When using [[Special:MergeHistory]], a null edit should be placed in both the merge target and merge source's page's histories stating that a history merge took place.

*'''B''' - '''Accepted''', '''Not Accepted''', and '''Rejected'''? (The rough consensus at [[WP:VPM|VPM]])

*: ([[phab:T341760]]: '''Special:MergeHistory should place a null edit in the page's history describing the merge''', authored Jul 13 2023)

*'''C''' - Something else, please specify.

*'''Option 1b''': When using [[Special:MergeHistory]], add a log entry recorded for the articles at the both HistMerge target and source that records the existence of a history merge.

*: ([[phab:T118132]]: '''Merging pages should add a log entry to the destination page''', authored Nov 8 2015)

*'''Option 2''': Do not log the use of the [[Special:MergeHistory]] tool at the merge target, maintaining the current status quo.

Should the use of the HistMerge tool be explicitly logged? If so, should the use be logged via an entry in the page history or should it instead be held in a dedicated log? — [[User:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">Red-tailed&nbsp;hawk</span>]]&nbsp;_{[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">(nest)</span>]]} 15:51, 20 November 2024 (UTC)}}

Should a bot be created to handle AfC submissions that haven't changed since the last time they were submitted?

* '''Option 1''': Yes. The bot should automatically <s>reject</s> <ins>decline</ins> any such submissions.

* '''Option 3''': Yes. The bot should notify the submitter and comment on the submission.

* '''Option 4''': Yes. The bot should add such submissions to a list '''and''' notify the submitter and comment on the submission.

* '''Option 5''': No.
