This user script was inspired by Enterprisey's "AFCRHS" script, and helps to handle requests at WP:AFC/R and WP:AFC/C (redirects and categories creation requests). This script features an easier to use interface with improved functionality and new features. It can be run using the link in the "More"/"Tools" menu.

Configuration

This script can be configured via a window.afcrcConfig object to your common.js. This takes the following form:

window.afcrcConfiguration = {
    createdPageWatchMethod: 'nochange' | 'preferences' | 'unwatch' | 'watch',
};

By default, pages that are created will use the preferences watchlist change method, following the Preferences → Watchlist → Watched pages → Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist configuration field. This can be changed through createdPageWatchMethod to either nochange (don't change watch settings for the created page), unwatch (unwatch the created page), or watch (watch the created page).

For example, to not change watch settings for created pages, add the following to your common.js:

window.afcrcConfiguration = {
    createdPageWatchMethod: 'nochange',
};
