Template:Improper AfC redirect or category request

Hi Improper AfC redirect or category request, I'm Example, and I noticed you made an edit to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects or Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Categories. Your request was either empty, had elements missing, or the edit did not belong there, so for now it has been removed. If you would just like to experiment, please use the sandbox instead. When you feel ready to file a new request, you can simply click one of these buttons:

Click here to request the creation of a new redirect

Click here to request the creation of a new category

If your aim was to create a new article, I recommend you use the Article wizard, which has the option to create a draft version. Please make sure you also read the Introduction to Wikipedia and Your first article. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A notification template for user talk pages explaining why you removed their edit to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects or Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Categories.

Suitable for non-compliant edits that are good-faith in nature and do not warrant a warning but rather a friendly instruction.

Usage

You may either use:

• {{subst:Improper AfC redirect or category request}} ~~~~ by itself for the default message,

or you may add a page name and custom message as an optional parameter that will replace "Thank you.":

• {{subst:Improper AfC redirect or category request|PAGE_NAME|OPTIONAL_MESSAGE}} ~~~~

Twinkle

You can add this template to the custom warning list in your Twinkle preferences:

1. Go to § Warn user
2. Find "Custom warning templates to display:" and click the Edit items button
3. Click the Add button
4. In the left field "Template name (no curly brackets)" add Improper AfC redirect or category request
5. In the right field "Text to show in warning list (also used as edit summary)" you could add e.g. Error at WP:AFC/C or WP:AFC/R
6. Click the Save changes button on the dialogue box
7. Click the Save changes button on the Twinkle preferences page

Alternatively, if you prefer to add the template manually to your Twinkle preferences stored in a subpage of your user page, the end result should look like this:

"customWarningList": [
      {
        "value": "Improper AfC redirect or category request",
        "label": "Error at [[WP:AFC/C]] or [[WP:AFC/R]]"
      }
    ],
