Prodding of drafts

edit

I swear, literally every time I monitor CAT:PROD, there's at least one draft in there. Often several. Is there a better way to get people to stop uisng it on drafts? Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 19:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Wrap the relevant template in {{Namespace detect}} and display appropriate text for different namespaces? – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Where's the option for "get editors to stop ignoring giant red warning text"? Like seriously, how the fuck do you not notice that? Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 04:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Banner blindness is real. You can't change humans. You can only work around them. We could also recruit a bot to automatically remove prod templates in namespaces where they don't belong. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:32, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I wonder if it would make sense for SD0001 to add this to their bot's PROD-related tasks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
If there is a way for bots to auto-revert prods placed on non-articles, then I'm all for it. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 17:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
My sense is that more than half (but not all!) of prodded drafts are due to new users deciding to delete their own draft, and accidentally getting the wrong deletion process. These can normally be replaced by {{db-blanked}}, but it's hard to do by bot – working out whether the author is the only substantial contributor is something that bots are not good at doing. Automatically removing the prod template would be wrong in these cases, though. --ais523 12:29, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion

I may be jumping the gun, but looking at the polling, it's very likely Carter will no longer be an MP come the results of the upcoming general election. I've decided to nominate the article for deletion because there is essentially no information about his life, and he will (almost certainly) cease to be a public figure very shortly.
