WP: arsip AFC/R
Idea: starting next month, can AfC switch monthly archives divided into groups? Recently there is more demand per month - there are more than 200 records in May 2014, but there are already more than 350 archives in June 2014. This makes the page very difficult to load and edit, especially for users with an internet connection slow. Maybe (from July) divide them into groups of 200 or 300 requests? Ollie inc ( talk ) 02:47, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
- Parts appear to average about 850 bytes a piece. This means that if we want to keep the page load and archive size down to the 150kB line (which is well-grounded), we should store about 175 requests per page. However, AN and AN/I archives are often 700kB - 1mB in size, and administrators insist that this size page does not matter. - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 12:12, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
-
- I will support smaller archive sizes in this WikiProject from the standpoint of the human factor (in particular: faster load time or reliable loading for those with slow or brittle connections), but I also agree with the essence of the AN/I Discussion: If a large archive violates the Wiki on the server, this should be fixed with code changes, not by reducing the size of the archive. As a "quick fix" can we go with filing twice a month since getting out of here? davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs) 18:22, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Proposal: create our production script AFCHRW
So there are about two days left for this backlog drive, and no one seems to notice it until a new reviewer comes in last night that the production version of the script does not work on WP: AFC/R (returns the token error, see this screenshot). Thus, I ask Theopolism and all reviewers who have used the AFCHRW version of the script, do we think is ready to be a production script? I ideally think it is ready (there are many feature requests, but there are no exceptional bug reports for things that are not broken in existing scripts as far as I know) and want to see them launched as it is on or as close as possible to July 1. This will give us a month or two to work with the script and find new and other bugs before the next BLD is submitted. What is everyone thinking about this? - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 12:12, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

- Support - I have been using the new script for some time now. The visual interface is less than optimal on my short, wide screen, but I have not posted bug reports for several weeks, and it seems to work smoothly. I have used mainly the "delay" and "comment" functions, so, others may have more to say about the submit/reject section. Is the fact that no one noticed the problem mentioned above with the old script means that it is rarely used? --Anne Delong (talk) 12:53, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
- No Anne, that's just WP: AFC/R is rarely visited by those using the old version. - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 13:13, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

- I updated the review instructions more than a year ago to reflect the fact that the helper script did not work in AFC/R and was told it was 'work in progress'. Many scripts ago, auxiliary script succeeded in AFC/R. It was very useful and created created redirects and categories of a doddle. There was never a backlog on that page, now there; probably because more effort is needed to answer the request. I have not tried a rewrite script so can not comment on its readiness, but if it works on self-support AFC/R. Bellerophon talk to me 06:54, June 29, 2014 (UTC) The beta version
- has a copy of the AFC/R script job (which I have posted PER to push life to fix the current problem), rewriting does not have support yet, but it will not be difficult having it call the AFC/R and FFU modules there is. I will try to prepare it today, unfortunately it seems we will not get enough support to make RW a live version of the script on the 1st... Fingers still cross over. - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 12:05, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

- As suggested by isaacl, I have reported my proposed addition to the submission process at WP: Gadget/proposal. If this is approved, it will likely reduce delivery that has no reference - including blank delivery and test page. I know that Technical 13 is also interested in this topic, and the chances of having started discussions about it already I do not suggest that he wait until the backlog drive ends (sorry, T13). --Anne Delong (talk) 14:08, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

- Timtrent, it does not take much time to deny empty submissions, and the drop-down template directs them to the Requested Article so it's not a big deal, really, but maybe we can change the words in the gray draft template, and some of them might read it. --Anne Delong (talk) 14:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

- Well, I agree that such pre-notifications would be better, especially since when the submission process backwards, empty shipments may be out of the question for some time, and when they are rejected and messages about "requested articles" are sent , users may have lost interest. There is a high possibility that a user who dropped in to leave an article request may never have the intention of being an editor, but timely information may leave him with a better opinion of Wikipedia. For others who actually plan to write articles and have just been sent ahead of time, it seems to me that after submitting their blank pages, they will continue to edit them, whether they have not been rejected or not. --Anne Delong (talk) 15:24, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

- Create an empty sandbox and make sure the {{User sandbox}} template is in it
- Type stuff. Do not save.
- Preview items. Do not save.
- Send from the Preview panel
- Notice there are two mechanisms of dialog between now and save, but be a new user and "leave page" and then "save"
- Voila! Empty submission
- The new logic must be inserted into the template so that the CSS class is injected into the div if the page referenced template is in preview mode. For now the CSS class will indicate that it is related to the AFC submission template in preview mode and must by default in preview mode close the submit button. Instructions will be added to AFC Frequently asked questions/Template documentation showing how users who lost old functionality can recover the behavior they want.
- Page has been moved to draft: space to Draft: Narrows Center for the Arts. It will sit for about 6 months and then be considered for the rapid removal of G13. I've deleted some promotional text, but it's not very similar to an essay, so it's almost ready for article life. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- In any case, the author has six months and will be warned before deletion. Drafts can be programmed to store them in the user's sandbox longer than that. I agree with Graeme Bartlett that it might be well received before then. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 22:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- AfC banners need to be removed as part of a user-user process page with AfC banners eligible for G13 as a draft space and wikipedia's chatroom article. If the article is edited (in addition to bot-like maintenance tasks), reset the clock at 6 months. â- ::: So, I do not know, if the user intends to continue working on it, but slowly, it's okay. If "for a while" means more than 6 months, then user use may be best. The advantage of leaving it where it will happen if within six months the article slips into the back of the user's mind then they will get a useful reminder that their work is there at that point.

- Comment ( One15969 - Chris troutman - Rankersbo ) Multiple point orders:
- The G13 rule reads: Disapproved or unposted articles for the unedited creation page for more than six months. There are no exceptions for bot-like maintenance tasks. If edits cause the page to register a new revision, the clock is reset.
- The main automated editing process (HasteurBot) takes the rule further by only operating in 2 prefixes: Wikipedia talk: Articles for creation and Drafts: . This means that the automated editing process will never alert users or nominate for G13 on userspace pages.
- This means that G13 page users who qualify are perview editors manual to determine whether they should be stored or handled by G13. Hasteur (talk) 18:16, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

Duplicate submission
Something to be aware of: I just found a draft article that was rejected because there was another submission about the same topic. I looked at another submission and it was rejected because there was another submission (the first)! Needless to say, both are abandoned.

The empty post was our mistake
If there are one or two I would assume a simple mistake, but there are so many that I think it must be our fault.
What do people who make blank submissions expect to happen?
I suspect the answer is that they expect others to create an article (where they provide the basic title and that's it) or expect a placeholder to be created for them to create the article itself.
So, how do we set their expectations correctly before they click for review, and they set themselves up for a blank submission summary submission? Fiddle Faddle 09:57, June 30, 2014 (UTC)
Possible mechanisms for blank pages

Once Jackmcbarn identifies a mechanism to 'prevent' the folk form from submitting from the preview pane, I have seen fewer empty submissions. The question is, do I own or do I see what I want to see?

Hi. I received the following message after I rejected the article:

Message boilerplate copyvio
During Backlog Drive I have several authors who ask why their design was rejected as copyright infringement when they own the copyright itself. I suggested that boiler messages be fixed to mention such situations, and Technical 13 prompted me to post a draft including it, and also a close paraphrase. So, here it is.
The submission appears to be taken from --Website--. Wikipedia considers copyright infringement very very and can not accept copyrighted content from a printed website or source. Please note that copyright protection is automatically granted to all works, whether it is confirmed or not. Unless otherwise stated, consider that most content on the internet is copyrighted and not suitable for publication on Wikipedia. (Paraphrase cover from copyrighted sources is also not permitted.) Copyrighted content may be credible if it meets the Wikipedia guidelines; however, your submission should be written in your own words, and in a sustainable prose. If you own the copyright and want to use the material on Wikipedia, you must first release it under a free license.
Feedback on whether this is a good idea or how to rewrite a better message will be appreciated. I'm afraid that at the moment, with new material, it's a bit congested. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 12:55, July 1, 2014 (UTC)
- This is good. I will change:
- "Files appear..." -> "Important parts of the draft appear..." (because not always the whole draft)
- "can not accept copyrighted content" -> "can not replicate copyrighted content".
- "Your submission should be written in your own words" -> "submissions must be written with the words of the editor himself" (to prevent WP: OWN)
- If we want to lose some text, a bracket about the near paraphrase might go away, because the point is more vague than the other. --LukeSurl t c 13:18, July 1, 2014 (UTC)
- (conflict edit) For comparison, the words are:
-
This submission appears to be taken from - Website - . Wikipedia considers copyright infringement very serious . We can not accept copyrighted content taken from printed websites or sources.

Copyrighted content may be referred to as a trusted source if it meets the Wikipedia guidelines; however, your submission should be written in your own words, and in a sustainable prose.
- Regarding the successor, when I say mention paraphrasing, I mean in a way like: "The editor should summarize the source of the material in their own words..." The substitutes I might suggest are:
-
Submissions appear to be taken from - Website - . Wikipedia deems copyright infringement very serious and can not accept copyrighted content from a printed website or source.

- Ah, I misunderstood what you meant. So the draft we all can agree on is:
-
Some or all of the drafts appear to be taken from - Website - . Wikipedia considers copyright infringement very very and can not reproduce copyrighted content from a printed website or source. Note that copyright protection is automatically granted to all works, whether or not it is .

I see articles about surviving people being rejected for not meeting the minimum standards for inline quotations, when inline quotes do not seem necessary. For example, an article was recently rejected with the comment: For a living person we have a higher standard when referring. Every fact you state requires a quote with references that are about them, and are not dependent on them, and are in the WP: RS. When reading Wikipedia: Biography of living people # The trusted source of my understanding is that only facts that are likely to be challenged or controversial (tends to cause arguments) require this level of reference for living biographies. Otherwise, footnotes are not required at all, and only references to build notations are required for the acceptance of draft articles. Do we have a clear statement about this to review the article? StarryGrandma (talk) 21:42, July 1, 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, we have a clear statement about this near the top of the review instructions. 1.Avoid reject the article because it is correct using common references to support some or all material. Content and source policies require inline quotations for only four specific types of material, the most common direct quotation and debate materials (whether negative, positive, or neutral) about living people.

- - A less important and overly optimistic article about a product/organization/website/uninteresting person. The author realizes the error of their way and goes elsewhere.
- - As above, but it also includes partisan screeds, very complicated word salads and original or highly-imaginative-new-evolution-science-of-true-epic-proportion-yet-still-based-on- WP: CALC. The author (s) repeatedly argue the validity and notability of their subject and relentlessly resend them, after making trivial changes, in the hope that the shear bloodymindedness will win the day. Reviewer becomes so deprived of its rights by filing like a zombie that will only be OFF! That they came to see them with hatred and wanted to see them burned with fire in a big hole.
- - Items that should probably not be rejected, or could be saved. The author (s) have given up, but, only occasionally, the small and secret cabal of reviewers and former reviewers keep this into the main hall. And there's a lot of fun...
- In the end, everything that stays down will end in CSD # G13. Bellerophon talk to me 22:14, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
- This will be worth learning. I suspect that partisans and crazies make maybe 25% of the inflows and they end up getting
I am using a beta script and it seems that it will not let me put the template, and I do not want to send it in my own name. Bellerophon talk to me 15:47, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
- Bellerophon, you can do it in anyone's name... {{subst: Send | user = username to send as }} - {{U | Technical 13}} (eotoc) 15:53, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks, learn something new every day. All completed. Bellerophon talk to me 16:00, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
- For the record, I just modified the template so
| user =
is no longer needed... {{subst: Submit | username to send as }} will now work. - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 16:04, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

- Technical 13, I hope this does not mean that the old format with user =, which is less cryptic and usually used by many editors, will no longer work. I do not see the purpose of making this change into something that has gone well. Bellerophon, I use rewrites, and it allows submissions under the username. It also does not disable the original scripts, so you can use them both if you like. --Anne Delong (talk) 16:37, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

- Anne, do not worry, it's fully compatible with using old methods as well. - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 16:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

@Anne Delong: I'm using Beta instead of rewriting, because I want to be able to handle WP: AFC/R using scripts. Beta seems to let me use scripts to submit pages with a draft template, but if the page does not have any type of the template, the script just runs automatically and stops.

Template: AFCHD/u
@Technical 13: can you remove the link to submission/draft from Template: AFCHD/u please. They do not work well and are not very helpful because all they do is make longer messages. All that the user needs to know is that they have replies on the help desk. I'll do it myself, but I'm afraid I'll break something in preload. Bellerophon talk to me 08:08, July 5, 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe the template still has a link to the actual thread in the help desk if it is provided? That's very important, because just telling new users will not go to the helpdesk there is no guarantee that they will find the answer to their question. I have long worried about users not taking a reply (either on the help desk or on my talk). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:38, July 5, 2014 (UTC)
- What exactly is the problem? I can not fix anything until tomorrow night when I come home from out of state. I agree it looks ugly (I think so before I start working on it). I can make it a linked channel to fix it or if there is community consensus, I can only delete it. Hopefully there are no protected templates anywhere because I can not edit them. - {{U | Technical 13}} (e o t o) 11:49, July 5, 2014 (UTC)
- @ Ritchie333 and Technical 13: Yes, it will still contain a link to the appropriate section of the help desk where the reply has been given. I request a link to the submission to be removed or canceled when using the comment link in the help desk question. The submission link is rarely seen formatting correctly. Sometimes it has unfamiliar brackets around it, sometimes making it as a redlink, sometimes making it as a direct link to the main room. I do not know why this is, but actually, when deemed contrary to the purpose of this template, a link to submission/draft is not required. Bellerophon <
