Time filed: 11:34, Wednesday, February 16, 2022 (UTC)

Function overview: Adds AFC unsubmitted templates to drafts.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Python

Source code available: I think this works?

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) § Bot proposal (AFC submission templates)

Edit period(s): Meant to be continuous.

Estimated number of pages affected: ~100 a day, judging by the new pages feed (about 250 today) and assuming that not many drafts are left without the afc template

Namespace(s): Draft

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes (pywikibot)

Function details: Adds AFC unsubmitted templates ( {{afc submission/draft}} ) to drafts in draftspace that don't have them, the {{draft article}} template, or anything that currently redirects to those 2. See the examples in the VPR proposal listed above.

Discussion

• I'm not going to decline this outright, if only to allow for feedback and other opinions, but not all drafts need to go through AFC, and so having a bot place the template on every draft is extremely problematic. Primefac (talk) 12:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
• {{BotOnHold}} until the RFC (which I have fixed the link to) has completed. In the future, get consensus before filing a request. Primefac (talk) 12:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
• @Primefac: Not sure if this is a misunderstanding, but it's the unsubmitted template, not the submitted one (Template:afc submission/draft). — Preceding unsigned comment added by AssumeGoodWraith (talk • contribs) 12:28, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

  I know, and my point still stands - not every draft is meant to be sent for review at AFC, and so adding the template to every draft is problematic. Primefac (talk) 12:38, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

  @Primefac: I thought you interpreted the proposal as "automatically submitting all new drafts for review". I'll wait for the RFC. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 12:49, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

• I'm not a BAG member, but I'd like to point out that your code won't work as you expect for multiple reasons.
  First, Python will interpret "{{afc submission".lower(), "{{articles for creation".lower(), etc. as separate conditions that are always True, meaning the only condition that is actually considered is "{{draft article}}".lower() not in page.text.
  Also, your time.sleep call is outside the loop, meaning it will never actually be run. Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 04:59, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

  I'll figure it out when approved. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 05:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

  ... Or now. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 05:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

  Yes, if there are errors in the code, please sort them out sooner rather than later, as there is little point in further delaying a request because known bugs still need fixing. Primefac (talk) 13:54, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

• I'd like to note that I've closed the RfC on this task. From the close: "There is consensus for such a bot, provided that it does not tag drafts created by experienced editors. The consensus on which users are experienced enough is less clear, but it looks like (auto)confirmed is a generally agreed upon threshold." Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:06, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

  Approved for trial (50 edits or 21 days, whichever happens first). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. This is based on the assumption that the bot will only be adding the template to non-AC creations. Primefac (talk) 12:37, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
