The Wizard is a great help.

It really helped with my latest article creation. My only suggestion is adding an interface where you can submit a bit of information and then have that info be inserted into the editor so you don't have to start from scratch completely. AustralianPope (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Can somebody add in categories a PLACE, CITY OR NATION?? So I can create a page about a city?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerardolagunes (talk • contribs) 15:26, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

This page says its the Article Wizard but it is the Armenian Environmental Network...Am I missing something? Kleisner (talk) 09:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Done No, you are not missing something, and thanks for spotting this. Someone transcluded the template {{Social Science Cyber Library}}. Makes no sense. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 10:27, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Change to output destination

Per a discussion held at WT:AFC a snowball consensus exists to have the "AFC" output destination be located in the Draft namespace instead of "Wikipedia talk:Articles for Creation/". As editors are now expecting it to be there, please do not revert the change to Wikipedia:Article wizard/Ready for submission without first raising the issue at the AFC talk page. Thank you.

Draft template submit button makes extra template

When a page is marked with the draft stage of the AfC submission template it displays a grey box stating that it isn't pending review but is in draft stage. I'm assuming that only one AfC submission should be on a page at once. Well, clicking the big green button on the draft template brings up a window to add a new AfC submission template, thus, creating two templates. One is a draft template (not pending review) and another is a submission template (pending review). Is there a way to have the button replace itself (the draft template) with the new template (the submit template)? It might be difficult to do with the link syntax that is being used presently. Any ideas? Thanks, -24^Talk 03:57, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Take for example this page. Notice the grey draft template at the top and the yellow pending review template at the bottom. This user probably added the initial draft template with the article wizard and then clicked the green button on the draft template which made the pending template at the bottom. There are now two templates on the page. I hope this shows my problem clearer. -24^Talk 04:05, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Feedback on WP:Article Wizard

Hello everyone,

Unlike many RFCs, this RFC does not have a particular conflict. Instead, through this RFC, I would like users to answer the following questions:

1. Do you like this article wizard? Please give any suggestions/feedback/comments you may have on this article wizard.
2. How do you think it can be standardized/integrated into Wikipedia's AfC and article-writing WikiProjects? --JustBerry (talk) 06:17, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Question 1

Support

• The Article Wizard is better than not having one at all. I haven't looked at it recently enough to say what I would change though
• I feel that the Article Wizard is a user-friendly tool for new users. However I have a suggestion, which is to allow users to categorize their articles, so that new page patrollers do not have to do so for them. Also, if the article is submitted as a draft, it can help AFC per this proposal, to allow potential reviewers who only want to review articles of a certain topic do so easily. This can also allow other WikiProjects to collaborate with AfC (eg. WikiProject Science members reviewing Science related AfC articles). Darylgolden^(talk) 00:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Neutral/Comment

Oppose

Question 2

• Of course in principle it can be integrated into other projects. I assume you are asking if I think it's feasible and desirable. I don't know enough about the other article-writing WikiProjects to even guess. As for AFC, go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script/Rewrite and ask the opinions of the AFC participants who are good at coding if they think it's feasible. If it can be integrated into the AFC process with little or no effort, I would say it is desirable. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:49, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 7 June 2014

Undo revision [1]. There is not a consensus for this change in addition to the underlying template being actively objected to in respect to the preload (Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation#Help_desk_changes). Implementing editor was warned about enacting changes to protected templates of their own devising without first seeking consensus as protected templates are exempted from WP:BRD as it is impossible for regular editors to force the revert. Per Wikipedia:Template_editors#When_to_seek_discussion_for_template_changes template Editors are required to secure consensus prior to changing the content of a template. No proposal to add the change was submitted and in light of the objection above to the underlying preload template, Technical 13 should have known better to implement a contentious action without securing consensus.
