:*It also tripped earlier in the day but was immediately reverted. A couple of minutes ago the page was restored to normal. I'm not marking this as resolved, that needs to be done by whoever will write up the formal bug report and/or fix the code or whoever identifies this as a non-code issue.

* Confirmed that this is a bug with the latest development version of the helper script (this is why we have betas :) ). Looking into now.

It said deleted twice, but only one instance of deletion was listed. Then the rest of the article is shown underneath this, but no decline options. I had to use Twinkle instead, which would be okay but I am missing my vitally important points for the backlog drive.... &mdash;[[User:Anne Delong|Anne Delong]] ([[User talk:Anne Delong|talk]]) 04:05, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 
:{{confirmed}} @Theopolisme: Actually [[Indubious]] was deleted two times, but the tool only shows the one Anne listed. <small style="font: 12px Courier New; color: #000000; display:inline;border:#009 1px dashed;padding:1px 3px 1px 4px;background-color:#fff">[[User talk:Mabdul|mabdul]]</small> 08:51, 11 October 2013 (UTC) 
::Perhaps the fact that there was a deletion template listed as part of the "nonsense" was causing it to bug out. At any rate, it didn't continue on to display the Accept/Decline/Comment toolbar, so I couldn't put it under review or decline it as a copyvio. &mdash;[[User:Anne Delong|Anne Delong]] ([[User talk:Anne Delong|talk]]) 10:04, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

:*Ambivilant about this. On the one hand I can count on two hands the number of times that a AfC submitter/creator has come to my talk page announcing that they're giving up on the submission and/or want it deleted. On the other hand, empowering editors is good. I'm weakly opposed to this for the simple reason that I could see where a different editor might stumble into the partial draft and actually finish working on it to get it to acceptance.

:::Yes, that's why I didn't want it to be generally on every decline template, only ones selected as having little usable content as is, such as blank, test edits, articles about one's cat, etc. &mdash;[[User:Anne Delong|Anne Delong]] ([[User talk:Anne Delong|talk]]) 03:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
*Agree with [[User:Hasteur|Hasteur]], in that I too am ambivalent about this. Also, I fear the law of unintended consequences would rear its ugly head: How many users would press the button just to see what it did? Then we have even more help desk requests asking how to 'stop deletion of my page' and such things...

==Proposal to add the decline reason to {{tl|Afc decline}}==
Would it be feasible to get {{tl|Afc decline}} to duplicate the actual text of the reason for declining when the script places the template? Something like the example shown in fig A at [[User:Bellerophon/Sandbox2]]. Moreover, can the script be tweaked to support the change of {{tl|Afc decline}}'s <code>cv=yes</code> parm into a general delete param, that is triggered by checking the CSD checkbox, in conjunction with a supported decline reason? So that the template will present itself something like the one shown at Fig B in my sandbox?
