User:Evad37/MoveToDraft

MoveToDraft (source) – A script that is used to WP:DRAFTIFY articles (move to draft space), including cleanup and author notification.

Script steps:

1. Move to draftspace and, if not an admin or page mover, tag the redirect left behind for R2 speedy deletion
2. Check if any files used are non-free
3. Edit page to comment out non-free files, turn categories into links, add afc draft template
4. Add notification message on author talk page
5. Update talk page banners
6. Log the move to the /Draftify log subpage of your userspace, if it exists

Add the following to Special:MyPage/common.js (or your skin-specific js, if you prefer):

{{subst:lusc|User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js}}

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 dialogue box for the new draft title, the username of the author to notify, and the notification message/heading to be left for the author. The default values may need to be changed to indicate the particular reasons why you are draftifying the article.

When the "Continue" button is clicked, the script will undertake the steps listed above sequentially. 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.

This 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.

"Move to draft" link placement

Add the line var m2d_portlet = "portletID";toyour common.js, replacing portletID with one of the portlet id values from Help:Customizing toolbars (the script's default location is p-cactions)

Author notification message

Use with caution, if you are sure what you're doing:

Add the line var m2d_notification = "Your message here";toyour common.js

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 \\.

Move log rationale

Add the line var m2d_rationale = "rationale";toyour common.js, replacing 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 = "editSummary";toyour common.js, replacing editSummary with custom text. The default rationale is [[WP:AFC|AFC]] draft

Disable logging within your userspace

Add the line var m2d_doNotLog = true;toyour common.js to disable logging moves (in/Draftify log within your userspace). Logging is enabled if this omitted or set to false.
