Blanking draft?
Hey, Godsy! Why do we need to blank this? valereee (talk) 20:51, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I was going to move it to User:Kaf121/Madbhi, but noticed your statement that you deleted it. So, I simply blanked it. As long as the templates draft topics and afc topics are removed, so that the page does not populate Category:Draft topics used in wrong namespace and Category:AfC topic used in wrong namespace respectively, I have no major qualm with the draft remaining unblanked at its present location (though the main talk page of a user is not a good place for a userspace draft). — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 01:38, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm probably being stupid...why shouldn't the user talk work to post that? I have no objection to it being moved to that redlink. I deleted an earlier version due to copyvio, then brought this one in so this very new user would be able to access their previous work without the copyvio. Why would we have any objection at all to that? What am I missing? valereee (talk) 19:34, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries. Well, let's imagine that the draft remains on their talk page. The user receives communications, maybe even important, from a couple more users. They then decide to submit the draft to afc. The draft will likely be moved to draftspace. That is problematic because now the history of their talk page (something that should be preserved) is mixed with the draft. On the other hand, the draft may be quickly declined where it is at. Either way, the page will now bear an afc template (e.g. AfC submission/draft) thereby making it eventually eligible for G13. Unless the deleting administrator is particularly savvy and simply blanks the draft (leaving the other contents and history intact), the same issue of losing what should rightly remain occurs. Similar problems would arise if the page is ever brought to miscellany for deletion. Thus – placing the draft content on a main user talk page, as opposed to a subpage of userspace, presents many potential issues for the future. I hope that helps clarify a bit. Warmest regards, — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 01:16, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Not really, but I'll assume you know better than I do. How shall we best make the content and sources available to this user, then? valereee (talk) 14:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello Godsy:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Further explanation regarding the archive RfD
After the comment where you said you'd be open to reevaluating based on additional explanation, I made a somewhat longer post outlinine some of the precise ways in which the presence of random redirects can be disruptive for coding: Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_February_20. I'd appreciate if you would read what I've written here and reconsider -- as it stands, I am somewhat concerned that the outcome of the discussion could prevent maintenance work in the future. jp×g🗯️ 21:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Redirects to Wikimedia Commons


A tag has been placed on Category:Redirects to Wikimedia Commons indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Quick note on Template:Wikimedia Commons redirect
Thanks for your edits to Template:Wikimedia Commons redirect.

Could you consider adding back in an "edit" link with a reminder "Wikipedia is not a mirror"? Awesome Aasim 13:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅, see here. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left1220674603:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 18:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That is not what I meant. I meant it being mentioned on the redirect. Something like "Start the $1 page, using the article wizard if you wish, but please remember that Wikipedia is not a mirror, etc." Awesome Aasim 23:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * , see here. The template is used so sparsely that it really just clutters the page unnecessarily. I went ahead and added a note about article creation somewhat as requested. I did not add a notice about mirrors etc. because it seems especially undue (if they start to be inappropriately created and it seems people get that notion, then it can be easily modified at that point in time). — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 06:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
