Template-protected edit request on 6 April 2024
[edit] | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please remove the __NOINDEX__ template since drafts and user namespaces are not indexed. If you disagree, let me know. Toadette (Let's talk together!) 06:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Are draftspace and userspace always noindexed without this template? Has someone read the code in the operations config repo to confirm it? –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- AFAIK User: namespace is indexed by default. Certainly my own user page turned up in somebody else's Google search before I made this edit. The situation may have changed since. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'd recommend that we decline this edit request then. The AFC submission template is sometimes used in userspace sandboxes. And if the status quo is to always noindex drafts, we should probably maintain that. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Edit request 18 November 2024
[edit] | It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:AfC submission. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.
Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |
Description of suggested change: The text of the link to the notability criteria in the web declination statement states it links to the notability criteria for websites. But, this declination statement and the linked WP:NWEB guideline is used for all web-based content, not just websites. The updated text should reduce confusion when declining a submission that is web-based but not a website.
