Hello, You have been assigned to me as a mentor and I look forward to learning from you. Regards! -- Shatu buba ( talk) 16:14, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Hey! Just so you're aware, User:Qwerfjkl/sandbox/hasRcat/testcase was producing a template loop error. After some initial looking through, it seems the issue is probably to do with {{ #invoke:Page|getContent}} in User:Qwerfjkl/sandbox/hasRcat (preprocessing it means it preprocess the call to itself, which will loop). I've implemented a temporary solution (noinclude tags), but if I may ask, what exactly is the goal with the template? The implementation seems interesting, but I can't exactly figure out what the intended output is. Aidan9382 ( talk) 08:36, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Qwerfjkl. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Amadea".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 20:15, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Qwerfjkl!
I was copy editing the below article and have a question. The website/magazine highlighted in the article no longer seems to be available. It's website no longer seems to exist. How are we to handle these situations?
Thank you!

Saw your note, saw you fixed it. The AFC submission template was broken already because the creator managed to change enough values to reset it to pending while still keeping the old decliner and rejection. I suspect this is what caused your odd experience. Primefac ( talk) 21:12, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

While I'd like to thank you for closing so many CfD,
WP:RELIST says, in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice.
In particular, today we had
Category:English-language education, where there was 1 implied keep and 2 explicit keeps. That's usually enough to keep, as there was no support to delete.
