What is the functional difference between {{Uw-draftmoved}} from 2015 that WP:DRAFTIFY makes use of, and {{Uw-afcaddition}} from 2016? Courtesy ping (Anarchyte—Mr. Stradivarius), Sam Sailor 07:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Sailor: {{Uw-draftmoved}} is to tell someone who submitted their draft with an AfC tag in the wrong namespace that it has been moved to "Draft:Name". {{uw-afcaddition}} is to tell users that their draft has been added to the AfC procedure by someone else as they believe it'd help them (new users making their first articles, etc).

Cool, thanks! Sam Sailor 07:51, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anarchyte: I've had a look at the nine instances I could find of Uw-afcaddition insource. All those drafts are now redlinked. Could you clarify when Uw-afcaddition is used? Is it when you find a draft in ns:118 that is missing {{AFC submission}} and you add it with appropriate |ts= and |u= or what? Thanks, Sam Sailor 08:09, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Sailor: Not sure what "ns:118" means. The template is used when a draft made by someone else (usually a new user) has {{AFC submission/draft}} added to it by someone other than the creator, if that makes sense. When I used to use it, I added it after an unfinished article made by a really new user had been moved from mainspace to draftspace when I it's best that they receive feedback. You can see the original discussion here. Cheers, Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:19, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anarchyte:Thanks for the clarification, I did read the 2016 discussion. Ns:118 = draft space. So, Uw-afcaddition is the ut notification after you have manually done what User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js does semi-automatically, is that correct? Sam Sailor 08:26, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Sailor: Yes. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Sam Sailor 08:40, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anarchyte: Right, but ... then we have {{Uw-articletodraft}}, and that sounds like the one to use when moving an undersourced article to draft space and manually leaving the new editor a notification. Which means {{uw-afcaddition}} is for drafts in draft space where you add {{subst:AFC draft|username of new editor}} on behalf of the new editor or you fix a subst:submit error by addition of {{subst:submit|username to submit as}} and then you notify them with {{uw-afcaddition}}, right?

@Sam Sailor: Yup, I believe so. Anarchyte (work | talk) 01:01, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have just declined Draft:Template:Uw-under13 as there is no indication that such a template is wanted. The message (bizarrely imho) talk of reverting edits simply because the contributor is thought to be younger than 13 years. AFAIK WP has never had an age restriction for editors. If such a template were to be seriously suggested I would be inclined to strongly oppose its creation. If it were actually used it might well violate WP:OUTING and in fact lead to exactly the problems that WP:YOUNG warn about. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 21:33, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Uw-patrolled is a template from before the new pages reviewer user right, which prevents new editors from marking pages as patrolled. I would recommend that we remove this template from the project or reword it to advise users to apply for the right at WP:PERM (the former being preferred). --Danski454 (talk) 17:21, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a level 3 template for subtle vandalism. Tornado chaser (talk) 19:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change information on Wikipedia (such as numbers and dates) without explanation, as you did at Article, your edits will be considered vandalism and you may be blocked from editing.

Quite a long time ago I created User:Ivanvector/Template:welcome-coi-candidate, a welcome template for new accounts editing election articles which appear by their usernames or edits to be candidates in the election, with useful links and advice to consult the conflicts of interest guidelines. I've found it's become useful again lately and added some switches to it, and I'd appreciate any feedback on it before possibly promoting it to the main template namespace. Obviously I need to add documentation, but any advice is appreciated. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:06, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I came to thinking about this when I encountered this edit. Then, I read through the template messages, and noticed that there were not a set that specifically addressed hate speech and/or improper use of epithets. While, I guess, it could be covered by the disruptive editing, personal attack, and defamation warnings, I feel that the warning system could be improved by having templates for this behavior. Examples:

Please refrain from using racial epithets while editing Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Please stop using Wikipedia to spread racial epithets and hate speech. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia needs to stay neutral and must not be used to spread racist doctrines.

Any input welcome, thanks. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 02:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
