AfC submission wizard (source) is a script designed for submitting drafts to AfC.

Details

The script is functional on the page Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Submitting. It can be used by any editor, including IP editors. It does not require you enable any gadget or install anything.

The submit/resubmit buttons in the following places link to the above location:

Data sources used in the script:

The source code of the script is at MediaWiki:AFC-submit-wizard.js.

Compatibility

The wizard is compatible with all browsers in which MediaWiki software runs JavaScript. It doesn't currently run on the mobile domain until the use of withJS URL parameter is enabled in mobile mode.

Features

All of the above are pre-filled if already present on the draft, as would be the case during resubmissions. In that case, you can edit the options before submitting.

Additional URL parameters

The script works only when the URL contains ?withJS=MediaWiki:AFC-submit-wizard.js. A few other URL parameters can be used for special behaviour:

  • If invoked with ?page=Draft:Sandbox in the URL, "Draft:Sandbox" will be pre-filled in the title input.
  • If invoked with ?username=Example, the submission will be made on behalf of User:Example.

Ideas for future consideration

Suggestions made in the initial WT:WPAFC discussion:

  • Allow submitter to declare a COI?
  • Ask submitter to optionally identify the
    WP:THREE
    best sources?

Later discussion:

  • Show reminder that subject of the draft has to meet notability guidelines?
