message: Why is the header on this template at === instead of ==?  It causes hierarchy problems on talk pages that already have discussions.  Powers T 14:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I had modified the template to remove the "register and you can create articles directly" phrase, but my edit was undone. I'm motivated by how wrong it is to say that phrase: an anonymous contributor, even if experienced, should be able to exist without us nagging him to register. «Anyone can edit» is a central core of Wikimedia projects philosophy.
Would we please have these people go through AFC as a consequence of the current restrictions on page creation, and not nag them, for the time being? Gryllida (talk) 04:11, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't find the current wording "nagging". In fact, I find it rather useful: it clearly explains a concrete benefit of creating an account relevant to the situation at hand; namely, you can create pages without having to wait for review if you create an account. Regardless of the "morals" of the current page creation restrictions, it's still a fact. Theopolisme (talk) 04:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

message: It looks like you fixed up the changes I made to the template by removing the /div at one point. The reason I had put that in was there was that, without it, the paragraph break between the assessment paragraph and the autoconfirmation paragraph doesn't seem to display (see e.g. here). How can I fix this? Sdkb (talk) 20:38, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, could you please take a look now? I think i fixed your problem by making sure there were correct number of line breaks with all different parameters to this template. The problem with your fix was that  is not valid html (self closing div is not allowed) and will show up as Special:LintErrors. Please let me now if you see any more not working as it should.

replies: text: There was still one missing break, but I think I've been able to fix that with an extra br tag, so should be good now. Sdkb (talk) 22:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

message: The template currently says "Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer." I propose we bring this in line with WP:COI guidelines by changing it to "Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer. Wikipedia guidelines strongly recommended that you use the Articles for creation process for any topics for which you have a conflict of interest."

replies: text: Hmm, is people creating articles about themselves after their first AfC draft is approved a problem? The link in the message goes to Help:YFA, which should cover things like that. I'm hesitant mainly because it's really important we keep this message concise, since otherwise people don't read it. It's also not a hard rule, just a strong suggestion. If we do include something, we'd want to keep it short, like "...without posting a request (so long as you do not have a conflict of interest)."  talk 22:41, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: There is no  prohibition on COI editors editing in that field, and adding somewhat unnecessary verbiage is the opposite of concise. Primefac (talk) 10:46, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi. The template allows for assessment but leaves out how the assessment should be made. Should these be WikiProject assessments or some arbitrary marks? It would be helpful if somebody added this information. --13:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

message: The script said in the acceptance message that the user can create new articles without AfC, though that doesn't appear to be correct, since they aren't autoconfirmed. Could someone that does more template-related stuff take a look? NotAGenious (talk) 12:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: They cannot see that message, actually; it is hidden behind an "autoconfirmed-show" trigger. If you view their page logged-out you'll actually see  instead. Primefac (talk) 14:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
