Slight change of wording of AfC accept/decline/reject notices. #296

Open qcne opened 1 year ago

Linked thread on the AfC Talk Page.

I'm missing a lot of replies from users who reply to the AfC user page notices, which probably makes them feel a bit ignored and often leads them to adding new topics to the help desk. As I review so many drafts it isn't particularly helpful to watch all the userpages.

A suggestion on the AfC Talk Page was replicate the wording from the NPP notices, so something at the end of the notice like:

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|$USER}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~

Hopefully this would be a fairly minor but valuable change, and would make a better experience for new editors.

Other than the related ticket, this has nothing to do with the script itself and more to do with the templates and how they are worded.

D'oh. I did search the code for the template and couldn't find it. Where are the templates linked on Wikipedia? Sorry for raising the issue in the wrong place!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation and its subcats have all of the decline templates, I don't remember at this exact point which one it is you're wanting to update but post at WT:AFC and we'll get working on it.
