RationalWiki:AFD nominator

The AFD nominator is a gadget that takes care of all the technicalities of bringing articles to RationalWiki:Articles for deletion for you, so that you only have to write the reason.

Usage

Go to your preferences and enable "AFD nominator" (search for it in "Editing gadgets").

After enabling it, a new button will appear when clicking on the "More" menu: "Nominate for deletion". Clicking it will bring up a menu where you can put the reason for nominating the article as well as some options.

• Short reason: Here you should explain briefly why this article should be deleted. It will be displayed in the article (see Template:Article for deletion), as well as the creator's talkpage if that option is enabled (see Template:Afdnotice)
• Reason: Here you should go in depth as for why the article should be deleted. This will be displayed as your vote on the article's entry at AFD.
• Leave a notice on the article creator's talkpage?: Enabling this option will leave a notice on the creator's talkpage using Template:Afdnotice. The reason you wrote in the "Short reason" input will be passed as the second parameter. Enabled by default.

Bugs and feature requests

If you've found a bug, or want a new feature to be added, make a thread on this article's talkpage.

Browser support

The script works with any modern browser.

While the code is kinda messy due to having to satisfy MediaWiki's ancient JavaScript minifier, the script uses ECMAScript7 features (for example, when checking the namespace) to keep it somewhat readable. Browsers without support for ES7 are not, and will never be, supported, so if you're still using Internet Explorer, perhaps its about time you download Firefox (and update the OS).
