Bug and feature list

Upcoming features

Features that are either prepared to be written or are in progress of being written go here

Redirect checker for renamed users (e.g. if user Foo was renamed to user Bar, the messages would be left on Bar's talk page)(commented out until I find a solution on the JQuery problem I have)
"Exporting" AfC/R and AfC stuff into two functions on other pages
Categories for decline reasons (consensus at WT:AFC)

To be coded

High priority

AFC/R stuff; needs a simple restart of developing. (@Nathan2055 would you overtake the part of merging back the reasons?)
- this talk page discussion)
- Implementation of HotCat --> AFC/C cat adding when cat is created.
  - Uh, the HotCat stuff was for accepting articles. I have no clue what you want it to do with AFC/C. I'll mess with the reasoning stuff though. --Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 16:13, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Normal priority

Bugs sorting and shrinking non-timestamped decline templates (see File:AFCH Decline sorting bug.png, page in question is Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cardin-Lugar Amendment)
Add wikilinks to the comments of the deletion log
Sort decline templates on bases of the |ts= and |declinets=; shrink templates on basis of order [1]

  - need to add comment sorting as well
[2] wikilink correction
Move user/user talk pages automatically

- See → ticket on Github Technical 13 (talk) 17:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
