::There was a spate of 404 problems recently. That's a separate thing (all about [[mw:RESTBase]], and supposedly it's finally fixed now (as of last [[WP:THURSDAY]]?). Hopefully you're already seeing fewer of these problems. [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 17:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

:::The Restbase improvements did lessen the problem but I still run in to this way too often. The cookie-autosave is cleared if you accidentally clicked on Escape or clicked out of the VisualEditor, I think the cookie has only saved me in about 5% of cases. Does anybody know a way to interact with the VisualEditor instance in Javascript? – '''[[User:Þjarkur|Thjarkur]]''' [[User talk:Þjarkur|(talk)]] 15:51, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

== [[WP:PROD|PROD]] handler ==

A script to make it a bit less time consuming for patrolling admins to assess proposed deletions. Single click to open a dialog which would check if:

* the page has ever been PRODed before

* the page has ever been nominated for deletion before

* the page has ever been undeleted

* the talk page has any content other than WikiProject templates

and buttons to:

* open what links here (articles only) in a new tab or list them in the dialog

* open the talk page in a new tab or show it in the dialog

* accept the PROD and delete the page, talk page, and redirects

* decline the PROD because ineligible or for a custom reason

:I now recall that the PROD template itself is supposed to indicate if the article has already been at AfD.

:In recent days I have had to decline PRODs due to the article having been PRODded before (this is often difficult or impossible to spot in the history) and one where the article had previously been undeleted. --[[User:kingboyk|kingboyk]] ([[User talk:Kingboyk|talk]]) 13:19, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
