Conversation
Why
- a recent RFC decided to bring the merging process into the AFD process, instead of placing maintenance tags and using talk pages
What
- add dropdown called "Desired outcome:" with options delete, merge, redirect, and draftify
- add |outcome= to tagging wikicode when merge, redirect, or draftify are selected
- refactor tagging wikicode to not use ternaries (more readable)
Note that Twinkle uses {{subst:Afd}} and {{subst:Afdx}}, not {{subst:Article for deletion/dated}} directly. Those two templates will need to be modified with template editor edit requests. That doesn't need to hold up this patch though.
Example wikicode outputted by this patch:
Delete:
- `{{subst:afd|help=off}}\n`
- `{{subst:afdx|18th|help=off}}\n`
Merge:
- `{{subst:afd|help=off|outcome=merging}}\n`
- `{{subst:afdx|18th|help=off|outcome=merging}}\n`
If you want the params in a different order, let me know.

This is a patch chain, and this patch is number 2. **Earlier patches need to merge first.** The "changed files" tab will include code from earlier patches due to GitHub limitations, until earlier patches are merged and this patch is rebased. Why - #2335 What - add |outcome=draftification to {{Afd notify}} left on user's talk page - pre-fill some draftify text in the AFD reason textarea. the specific verbiage I chose was `I propose '''draftifying''' because `. Changing away from the draftify outcome in the dropdown blanks the reason textarea. - refactor
This is a patch chain, and this patch is number 3. **Earlier patches need to merge first.** Then rebase this one to fix the "files changed" tab. Why - #2335 What - add "Target page" text box for "Redirect" option in dropdown - add `|target=TargetPage` to {{Afd}} and {{Afdx}} - add `|target=TargetPage` to {{Afd notify}} - pre-fill some redirection text in the AFD reason textarea. the specific verbiage I chose was `I propose '''redirecting''' because `. Example text written to user talk: - `{{subst:afdx|3rd|help=off|outcome=redirecting|target=PageToRedirectTo}}` - `{{subst:afd notice|outcome=redirecting|target=PageToRedirectTo|order=  (3rd nomination)|1=NovemTest110}} ~~~~`
