Template talk:AfC submission

This is not the page to contribute new articles. This page is for discussion of the "AFC submission" template itself, and its subpages. You may be looking for one of the following pages: Wikipedia:Article wizard – For submitting a new article. Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk - For questions about submitting a new article. Wikipedia:Help desk – For questions about Wikipedia and editing. Wikipedia:Teahouse – Also for questions about Wikipedia and editing, especially for newer editors. Or click here to ask for help on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you there.

Template:AfC submission is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories. Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.

This is the talk page for discussing AfC submission and anything related to its purposes and tasks.

This edit request to Template:AfC submission/comments has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: The text of the link to the notability criteria in the web declination statement states it links to the notability criteria for websites. But, this declination statement and the linked WP:NWEB guideline is used for all web-based content, not just websites. The updated text should reduce confusion when declining a submission that is web-based but not a website.

In the "Where to get help" section should the suggestion to go to the "AfC Help Desk" be a link to the actual help desk page? KylieTastic (talk) 14:36, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done normally, maybe - but in this case there is a link to a wizard for that page and the goal is to get new users to use that wizard instead of trying to use the editor to add their question. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:59, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
