Module:AFC submission catcheck → Module:AFC submission check – Module does more than just check for categories. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 17:40, 23 June 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 16:49, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I don't think module and template names matter much, since they are not visible to readers. And this one does not need a discussion to move it; so be bold and move it if you think that's a good idea, and if someone disagrees they'll let you know or move it back. Not worthy of a wider discussion. Dicklyon (talk) 22:53, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dicklyon, we just had a huge issue with this module and Module:AfC being moved, because there are a half dozen pages and bots that use it in order to function properly that all broke. Primefac (talk) 23:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why wasn't that mentioned in the move proposal? And what's the compulsion to move it if it causes such problems to do so? This RM is ridiculous to not spell these things out. Dicklyon (talk) 03:44, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Draft categories removes categories

@WOSlinker: I created {{Draft categories}} in May. Example use. It is not advertised anywhere and has almost no uses but I'm planning to advertise it. Can the module be coded to not add Category:AfC submissions with categories when {{Draft categories}} prevents the categories from being added? PrimeBot made an unnecessary "fix" in [1].

@PrimeHunter: I've created a version at Module:AFC submission catcheck/sandbox which I think should work. Did a little bit of testing and seemed ok. Have a look yourself and see what you think. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:05, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@WOSlinker: Thanks. It looks good. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:31, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 17 January 2019

It is requested that the semi-protected page at Module:AFC submission catcheck be created.
(edit · history · last · links · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Hi. I'd like to add a line to the module, to remove another false positive.

From:

tc = removeFalsePositives(mw.ustring.gsub(tc,"%[%[Category:Articles created via the Article Wizard%]%]",""))

To:
tc = removeFalsePositives(mw.ustring.gsub(tc,"%[%[Category:Articles created via the Article Wizard%]%]","")) tc = removeFalsePositives(mw.ustring.gsub(tc,"%[%[Category:Unsuitable for Wikipedia AfC submissions%]%]",""))

This is because the category (Unsuitable for Wikipedia AfC submissions) is a part of the AfC proces, and so should not be removed as a category that a draft is in.

Thanks,

@WOSlinker: I know it's been years - but do you have any feedback on this? — xaosflux ^Talk 20:44, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
