I had to create a new page for my AfD. Either I fucked up or the instructions are incomplete[edit]

I had to do this, but the instructions don't say anything about creating a new page. Either they are incomplete or I fucked up something. GeeJayK (talk) 15:11, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

The instructions are complete, and you didn’t fuck up anything; this is standard for afds. The preload debate link prompts you to create a new page like you did without needing to spell everything out explicitly. Christopher (talk) 15:15, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Where can I find the template? I had to copy it from another AfD. GeeJayK (talk) 15:23, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
When you first stick the AfD template onto a page, it looks like this; the “preload debate” link creates the page semi-automatically (click it and then click show preview to see what I mean). Once the page is created, the instructions vanish. Christopher (talk) 15:29, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Ah, ok. Thanks. GeeJayK (talk) 15:31, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

political categories[edit]

so what have we decided about the political categories? they've been up for a vote for over a month now. G Man (talk) 16:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

@G Man We still need @Techpriest to run a bot to clear the categories before we can delete them.--Andrew5 (talk) 17:06, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

"Please notify the creator/main editor(s)"[edit]

Is this even really a requirement? I've never seen this happen on a regular basis in my time here Plutocow (talk) 08:10, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

It could be useful if they're both good faith and active. They'd be among the most likely to have a stake in improving the article to prevent deletion too. Chillpilled (talk) 08:17, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
