Discussion
Please add the functionality to remove userspace draft from AFC submissions which were manually moved and / or accidenatlly added. (similar to existing BFRA although that handles only own moved pages) User:Alpha Quadrant is doing this at the moment with AWB manually every week (or so). mabdul 19:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

 * This task would be of great use for Articles for Creation. Without a bot, we have to remove the extra review templates manually. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  20:38, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Seems to be uncontroversial task useful to AfC crowd. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:40, 6 November 2011 (UTC)


 * So old AFC submission/declined templates on re-submitted articles will not be removed? joe&bull;roet&bull;c 21:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Only pending and |t templates are removed Petrb (talk) 21:31, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Has this been resolved? (or have I misinterpreted and that is unrelated to this task?) -- Chris 08:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be another new task/BFRA for this bot. At the moment (similar to the review instructions) it is only requested to remove unused pending templates. See also WT:AFC at the bottom. mabdul 10:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes it was resolved as you can see at Joe's talk Petrb (talk) 10:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, looks good. -- Chris 12:54, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
