Editing Template:AfC submission/doc (section)

=== Decline options ===
When declining an AfC submission, this template can take additional parameters to include a decline reason. All decline templates used under the old system (listed {{oldid|Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Templates#Decision templates that can be used for declined articles|242565191|here}}) are included in this template. The idea is to streamline the decline process; instead of including three templates, now a reviewer need only add a single parameter to the template to include a decline reason.

To include the decline reason, use {{tlx|AfC submission|D|reason}}, replacing ''reason'' with one of the abbreviations listed at [[Template:AfC submission/comments]]. That page also shows the resulting messages. Some ''reason''s may take an additional parameter ({{tlx|AfC submission|D|reason|Additional parameter}}). These parameters are optional, except the additional parameter for ''reason'' itself.

If no parameter is included after '''D''', or an invalid parameter is entered, the invalid parameter will appear as the decline reason.
