Template:AfC submission/doc

Usage
This template is meant as a single template for marking the status of an Articles for creation submission. To use this template to submit an article for review, use, where username is the username of the draft's creator (left blank it will assume it is you). The template uses one of the following parameter options:
 * produces the unsubmitted draft banner AfC submission/draft
 * Shortcut:, where username is the username of the draft's creator (left blank it will assume it is you).
 * AfC submission (no first parameter) produces the pending submission banner AfC submission/pending
 * This may also be produced using, as discussed above.
 * produces the declined banner AfC submission/declined, or the rejected banner AfC submission/rejected, depending on whether the  parameter is passed with some value
 * produces the reviewing banner AfC submission/reviewing
 * When a submission is moved into mainspace, it produces the "created" message AfC submission/created

Decline options
When declining an AfC submission, this template can take additional parameters to include a decline reason. All decline templates used under the old system (listed here) are included in this template. The idea is to streamline the decline process; instead of including three templates, now a reviewer need only add a single parameter to the template to include a decline reason.

To include the decline reason, use, replacing reason with one of the abbreviations listed at Template:AfC submission/comments. That page also shows the resulting messages. Some reasons may take an additional parameter. These parameters are optional, except the additional parameter for reason itself.

If no parameter is included after D, or an invalid parameter is entered, the invalid parameter will appear as the decline reason.
