    When one accepts or declines a submission, it gives choices of random AFC submission ("Continue to next random submission (1937), GFOO submission (67), or very old submission"). But the very old submission links to an incorrect url instead of the correct url. A fix would be appreciated. Galobtter (talk) 07:17, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I was wondering if that might happen. I changed the name of the category recently and apparently missed one. Thanks for the update, I'll make sure it gets passed along. Primefac (talk) 13:08, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Script not cleaning up comments

    A draft was accepted by SwisterTwister but the script didn't cleaned up the AFC comments made when it is in draftspace, as it would normally do. See permalink to page before I removed them. Is this from the script? Pinging @Primefac and Enterprisey:  — Ammarpad (talk) 09:54, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    My guess would be either ST closed the page before the script was done editing, or there was a script error client-side, because I see nothing strange as far as the code on the page goes. Primefac (talk) 15:15, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    OK,  — Ammarpad (talk) 05:03, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    script complaining im not listed

    the script keeps saying that im not listed at participants (which I am, i checked.), and won't run. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 17:39, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Another capitalization issue. @Primefac: just need to change the capitalization to Aunva6 not aunva6. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:55, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Aunva6, I take it that you're interested in becoming active again? Primefac (talk) 18:23, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    yes. i actually tracked down the bit of code that's causing it, as the script is case sensitive. probably easier to use an editnotice or hat to tell adding admins to ensure capitalization is correct. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 18:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Since that's "me", I will make a note (and I've already fixed a few others on the list). Primefac (talk) 18:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Categories

    Apparently, the "Add categories" box now only lists categories that are already listed in the draft. For example, for Draft:Avant Festival, only 4 categories are allowed in the categories box and any other category name will just display "No results match Foo" regardless of whether the categories actually exist or not. Is there a recent change somewhere in the code that causes this to occur? Is this intentional, or is this a bug that should be reverted? PrimeHunter suggested at WP:VPT#Categories in AFC script that I should post the problem here instead of there. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    This doesn't sound like a script issue, but a lookup issue (I don't think AFCH has even been updated in the last day or so). Enterprisey? Primefac (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Similar for me too.. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:06, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Reproduced and investigating. I'm not sure what's causing this right now, but I should have it figured out soonish. Enterprisey (talk!) 21:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, should be fixed. Let me know if there are further issues. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Option for reviewer note upon acceptance?

    There's been a few times where there's a passable draft but there are some next steps I'd like to provide the author to improve the article further. This can be done by the talk page, but it would be super cool if there was a "reviewer note" field to easily provide article feedback before pressing "accept & publish". – by AdA&D at 02:17, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Where would the feedback go? I guess the article talk page, and the talk page of the creator? Enterprisey (talk!) 03:20, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I would think on the Talk page. There have been a couple of instances myself where I've been on the fence, and wanted to leave further notes on the talk page (usually saying "I'm okay with AFD for this one"). Obviously there are those will find it useful, but it also becomes a question of effort-to-return; is it easier for the devs to implement this extra suggestion, or easier for the reviewer to just go to the talk page? As I'm not one of them I cannot say which holds more sway. Primefac (talk) 14:18, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd also find it reasonably useful; yeah to say when I'm 50-50 on something or something like that. Galobtter (pingó mió) 03:13, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    A talk page note would be pretty easy. I'm busy right now getting stuff together for Wikipedia Day, but after that I should be free to get this done. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:21, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks! Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Addition of CSD

    Similar to the 'cv - Submission os a copyright violation' dropdown, where there is a checkbox for 'Nominate the submission for speedy deletion', could there be the same checkbox for 'adv - submission reads like an advertisement'. I've lost count the number of times I've has to also nominate the submission for deletion. Thank you David.moreno72 06:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
