Line 465:

Can the AFCH script be given a feature to allow the reviewer to select multiple decline reasons (as is the case, for instance, with speedy-deletion for multiple reasons)? Very often a draft is a BLP that does not have in-line citations and so does not establish [[WP:BIO|biographical notability]], or reads like an advertisement because it fails to establish [[WP:CORP|corporate notability]]. I think that, as a result, some submitters correct the one identified issue and think that is all that they needed to do. Can the script be modified to allow the reviewer to select two or more reasons? [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 01:59, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

:{{tl|AfC submission}} needs to be changed first to support multiple decline parameters, which shouldn't take that long. Once we get that done it's definitely feasible, though [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/blob/master/src/modules/submissions.js#L1968 the code that actually declines the draft] might take some effort to change. Anyway, it's a great idea. [[User:APerson|APerson]] ([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 17:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

== [[Draft: Maryse Warda]] ==

I hope that this isn't considered [[WP:FORUMSHOP|forum shopping]] to report a bug and ask for help in two places.

At [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]], I requested a random article, and got [[Draft:Maryse Warda]]. I reviewed it, and found it to be ready for acceptance. However, Accept was not one of the options from the AFCH tab. I had to Submit it. I then apparently made the mistake of submitting as myself rather than as the page creator. I then accepted it. I was then notified of its acceptance, but now I can't identify the page creator to notify them of acceptance. Can an administrator please help me? I don't think that the script should destroy the history of the draft article, which it apparently has done. If it is meant to do that, then I should be warned that submitting it as myself is a drastic action that may have unintended consequences.

:{{u|Robert McClenon}}, I'm pretty sure that the history of the draft article is available as the history of the page [[Maryse Warda]] before the move, and that {{user|Jillcast}} was the draft's author. All the script does is perform a move from the draft title to the article title; are you asking why the edits that were made to the page while it was still a draft aren't shown at [[Special:History/Draft:Maryse Warda]]? [[User:APerson|APerson]] ([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 00:50, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

::Thank you. I see that the article, although not the draft, has the history. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 01:27, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

== Removal of comments from draft talk pages ==

It is intended that the script should remove comments from a draft talk page when moving a submission into mainspace (e.g. as seems to have happened [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Crown_of_Ptolemy&diff=692597496&oldid=692597492 here]). If so, please could this be stopped as a matter of urgency? &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 17:29, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

:{{u|MSGJ}}, strangely enough, that doesn't seem to be the desired behavior for the script, at least according to [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/blob/master/src/modules/submissions.js#L1923 this comment]. Setting <tt>mode</tt> to <tt>prependtext</tt> ''should'' force the new text to be added to the top, so it's mystifying why the script isn't behaving properly. I'll look into this a bit more.

::SwisterTwister confirmed that he/she didn't intend to remove those comments, so it seems the script is misbehaving. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 08:55, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
