Two ideas from December 2020

Before submitting your draft, please put a note on [link to talk page] stating the following:

• "I have read Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest and Wikipedia:Paid-contributions disclosure and will abide by them if they apply."
• "I have read Wikipedia:Your first article."
• "I have read Wikipedia:Notability." On the talk page, list 2-5 sources that will make it easy for the reviewer to see that the topic you are writing about is "notable." Without evidence of notability, the draft will not be accepted.

If the draft has been submitted and declined, also write a sentence or two saying what changes you have made to address the reasons that the previous draft was declined.

Problem: If I move a page then update the redirect with {{ R from}}, it takes an administrator to reverse the redirect.

Proposal:

Allow an editor to request that a bot delete all but one version of a redirect under the following conditions:

• The version to be kept is the latest revision that does not contain the request for the bot
• All revisions are by the requesting editor.
• All revisions other than the revision requesting the bot to act are redirects with the same destination.
• The page was created less than an hour before the request.

Possbile implementation: Have a special template based on {{ db-author}} that would get the bot's attention. The bot would either delete the page or if it was outside the bot's narrow parameters, replace the template with a {{ db-reason}} template with |reason=I am a bot, an editor as requested that all but one revision be deleted.
