MoveToDraft (source) – A script that is used to WP:DRAFTIFY articles (move to draft space), including cleanup and author notification.
Steps performed by the script:
- Move the current page to draftspace and, if the user isn't an admin or page mover, then tag the redirect left behind for R2 speedy deletion.
- Check if any files used are non-free.
- Edit page to comment out non-free files, put categories in {{Draft categories}}, and add the {{Draft article}} template.
- Add a notification message on the author's/significant contributors' talk page/s.
- Update talk page banners.
- Log the move to the /Draftify log subpage of the user's space, if it exists.
Installation
editAutomatic
edit- Step 1: Check the checkbox at Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced → Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) and click Save.
- Step 2: Click the big blue "Install" button in the infobox on the right of this page.
Manual
edit- Add the following to Special:MyPage/common.js (or your skin-specific js, if you prefer):
{{subst:iusc|User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js}}
Usage
edit- On articles, there will be an additional "Move to draft" menu option next to the regular "Move" option. In Vector skin, this is within the "More" dropdown menu.
- Selecting "Move to draft" will bring up a list of contributors to whom notifications can be sent. This step is skipped if there is only one contributor to the page.
- Next, a dialogue box is shown where the new draft title, the username of the author to notify, and a set of checkboxes to indicate the problem/s with the current version of the article can be chosen.
- When the "Continue" button is clicked, the script will undertake the steps listed above. If there are any errors encountered with a step, you generally have the option to retry or skip it.
- Note: for those without the page mover user-right, the redirect left behind from moving the article to draftspace will be tagged for CSD R2 deletion automatically.
Warnings
editThe script warns the user in certain conditions:
- Previous draftification of the article
- Old article (created more than 90 days ago)
- New article (significant edit/s less than 1 hour ago)
Draftify log
editThis script adds a pseudo-special page for viewing logs of draftifications – all draftifications, not just from this tool.
Once installed, you can navigate to Special:Draftify log and view logs from all users, or a particular user.
For convenience, a "Draftify log" link is placed on user pages (near the "Move to draft" menu option), linking to that user's log.
A wikitext version of the log is generated in a textbox at the bottom of the page, for easy copy-pasting if desired.
Todos
edit- Switch UI to Vue.js
Changes after forking
editThis script was forked from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft, in November 2022. After forking, the following enhancements have been done:
- A selectable, short list of reasons for draftifying, which are added in the message to the draft creator's talk page.
- Warning when the article is very old (>90 days) OR very new (edited less than an hour back).
- Warning when an article has been previously draftified.
- Allow notifying multiple authors (when applicable).
- Fixed bug where, on occassion, the article XYZ would be moved to Draft:Draft:XYZ.
- Workaround for phab:T321192.
- Draftification log entries and edits are tagged with "moveToDraft".
Customisation
edit- Watching pages: If you want to watchlist the pages that you move, then check the checkbox at Preferences → Watchlist → Watched pages → ⧼Add pages and files I move to my watchlist⧽ and click Save.
- Subscribing to user talk page discussions: If you want to auto-subscribe to user talk page discussion, then check the checkbox at Preferences → Editing → Discussion pages → ⧼Enable topic subscription⧽ and click Save.
- "Move to draft" link placement: Add the line
var m2d_portlet = "
to your common.js, replacingportletID
";portletID
with one of the portlet id values from Help:Customizing toolbars (the script's default location isp-cactions
) - Move log rationale: Add the line
var m2d_rationale = "
to your common.js, replacingrationale
";rationale
with custom text. The default rationale is [[WP:DRAFTIFY|Not ready]] for mainspace, incubate in draftspace - Edit summary for preparing article for draftspace: Add the line
var m2d_editsummary = "
to your common.js, replacingeditSummary
";editSummary
with custom text. The default rationale is [[WP:AFC|AFC]] draft - Disable logging within your userspace: Add the line
var m2d_doNotLog =
to your common.js to disable logging moves (in /Draftify log within your userspace). Logging is enabled if this is omitted or set to false.true
; - Contributor notification message
- Use with caution, and only if you are sure what you're doing:
- Add the line
var m2d_notification = "
to your common.jsYour message here
"; - Important: within your message:
- * You need to use
$1
instead of the page title - * You need to prevent wikitext transformations on the common.js page itself (i.e.
\~~\~~
instead of~~~~
,\{\{subst:
instead of{{subst:
for any template substitution) - * You need to escape any quotation marks (
"
characters) as\"
to avoid syntax errors. - * Any actual backslashes (
\
characters) need to be escaped as\\
.
- Location of your log file: You can change the location of the
Draftify_log
file by creating a redirect fromUser:Username/Draftify_log
to whatever location you prefer (as long as it is within your userspace).
