:As far as the script goes, I'm not much help, but I'll take a look at {{t|AFC submission/declined}} and see what needs tweaking to allow multiple reasons à la {[t|db-multi}}. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 12:07, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

::This is [https://github.com/WPAFC/afch-rewrite/issues/78 tracked on GitHub]. I'm pretty busy IRL (as my onwiki inactivity shows), but you can see from that issue that since it was opened, some progress has been made. I actually [https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/foo&oldid=265491 declined a testwiki draft] with multiple reasons in March of last year, but there's some remaining work for it to happen on this wiki.

== 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.

: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". Most other reviewers do respect such a suspension, even though it's not actually a documented procedure. [[User:Dodger67|Roger (Dodger67)]] ([[User talk:Dodger67|talk]]) 16:50, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

:::As do I. I'm rather surprised it's not written somewhere, given the widespread following of this line of thinking. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 21:45, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

::::I think I picked up the practice from one of you as well. Maybe we should codify it in the reviewing instructions? [[User:Wiae|/wiae]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Wiae|<small>/tlk</small>]] 23:41, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

::::: Agreed. It should be included in the reviewing instructions. I never thought of this and this draft was the first instance I encountered as such. Thanks for the suggestion {{u|Dodger67}}.

::::::That's a good idea. How would the script need to change if we all followed that? One idea is not allowing someone to undo your "suspension" by disabling the "unmark as under review" button if there's a MfD tag on the page - would that work?
