Function Details: To make filing requests for comments easier, users can fill out this form, filling in all the necessary details. In order for someone to use it, they must be registered with a confirmed e-mail address. Once all the details are filled out and the form is submitted, the request is held in a database and a confirmation e-mail is sent to the user via Special:EmailUser. This is to help prevent abuse of the script. Once the user confirms the RFC by clicking on the URL in their email, the bot will proceed to post the RFC on the wiki.
