At Special:Diff/1163774587 by @ Star Mississippi, I noticed that the closing rationale is not printed at the AfD page; despite it simultaneously being added to its edit summary, and the concerned article's talk page ( Special:Diff/1163774589). — CX Zoom[he/him] ( let's talk • { C• X}) 12:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
"Not yet 7 days" warning is currently after you go through a couple screens and try to finalize the closing of the XFD. (In my case for RFD.) I suggest moving this check and notification to the very beginning, when you first open XFDCloser, so as to reduce wasted time. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 15:31, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
There is a setting in the preferences screen called "Add edited pages to your watchlist". The choices are "always", "never", and something else. I propose adding some limited durations to this, such as "1 week", "1 month", etc. I would personally want to watchlist these pages for about a week or a month, and after that I'd like them to drop off my watchlist to avoid clutter. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 16:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
Some recent CfD relistings appear to be linking to the wrong page ( example). Could you check if this is an error with XFDcloser or something else? — Paul_012 ( talk) 07:12, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
The above was copied from User talk:Qwerfjkl#Relisted CfDs linking to wrong date.
This appears to have since been resolved, but someone might want to look into the causes. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 17:50, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
This seems to have disappeared from my screen completely. Any ideas why? Skin compatibility, withdrawn, affected by other scripts, perhaps? Unfortunately, DannyS127 hasn't been around for a bit. Hope he's well. SN54129 17:08, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
It appears that the xfd for Cat Conceptual system got logged, but Cat Physical system got lost. I did it manually. -- Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 20:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
It is not clear to me whether Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/All old discussions gets an entry. I believe it would be moot because the Cats should have been processed. -- Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 23:14, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
The TfM tag at {{ pagelinks}} seems to be messing with XFDc, making it think the page nominated was Template. See Special:Diff/1174719924. CLYDE TALK TO ME/ STUFF DONE 07:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
Hey there! At Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, two sections are wrongly being interpreted as nominations. They are #Notifying related WikiProjects and #Notifying substantial contributors to the template. SWinxy ( talk) 18:17, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
When closing Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_September_25#Category:Jewish_athletes_(track_and_field) as no consensus, XfDcloser failed to remove the CfD tags from the nominated categories. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 19:12, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
I started seeing the problem on Sep 9 or 10 (see WT:Redirects for discussion#XFDcloser is broken), but it may have been there from earlier. Typing into the Result Summary or Rationale fields of the XFDcloser is not possible. It treats characters as keyboard shortcuts and does other stuff. Apparently it happens for Multiple results only.

When closing a CfD, the disambiguation page Reply sometimes appears as one of the pages, and Talk:Reply receives a spurious old CfD notice. This happened at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_30#Category:French_Polynesian_musicians and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_7#Category:Latin-language_writers. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 16:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm wondering if there's an easier way to implement a "draftify" closure at AfD than what I'm currently doing. Ideally, this would involve a) moving the page and associated talk page to draftspace, b) removing AfD templates and logging the old AfD on the talk, and c) the option of unlinking backlinks, for topics deemed temporarily not notable. If it's not currently a feature, it would be an extremely useful one.
Also, given that this page is likely to be a long list of requests and/or complaints, I wanted to express my appreciation for this tool, and the enormous time savings it has created. Vanamonde ( Talk) 20:37, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Steps to replicate the issue: Try closing a batch nomination at RfD using XFDcloser and select the option for "multiple results". For one of the pages, select "retarget" and try to type the name of the new target page.
What happens?: When prompted for a new target, the field freezes and does not allow typing words. Typing certain letters causes the result to be altered (e.g., 'k' for keep), while others have no effect. Attempting to abort the "multiple results" closure keeps all fields frozen, i.e., a blanket "retarget" closure is not possible, and it is impossible to add an additional rationale following one of the default results. It is necessary to refresh the browser page to unfreeze XFDcloser.
What should have happened instead?: It should be possible to specify independent pages to which each nominated page will be retargeted, and proceed with the close. Any issues at this step also should not affect alternate closure options when backtracking.

MediaWiki:Gadget-XFDcloser-core.js is minified, making debugging harder. I suggest turning off minifying. mw:ResourceLoader has its own minifier, so I don't see much of a performance benefit here, and the tradeoff is harder debugging and a barrier to entry for other devs that want to read this code. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 18:26, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
optimization: { minimize: false }
. Example at
User:Suffusion of Yellow/fdb-worker.js; that's fairly readable, though a few clashing variables might have been renamed.
