Can we mark drafts, submissions under consideration, and submissions which have been evaluated? Maybe a category for drafts not yet submitted would be enough. I'm brainstorming. -- 14:18, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

:Done! I added a question at the bottom of the [[Special:FormEdit/WCNA_2021_Session_Submission/Submissions:2021/Test|submission form]] to let people select either Submit or Draft.

We need to make account creation captcha harder -- getting a small flood of spam accounts. Sj (talk) 23:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I brought this up on the main page discussion today...not sure where the best venue is. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 05:14, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Problem creating user

Forgive me - Could you research this? I was working with someone and they tried to create an account on this wiki but it gave an error, which I can reproduce. Try "Create account", user test77, password test77a, and 2019 conference location Cambridge. It gave this:

[497a14c639244a9af95eae13] /index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=2021/Main+Page Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1699 of /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?

 Error 1054: Unknown column 'lu_local_id' in 'field list' (localhost)
 Function: CentralAuthUser::attach
 Query: INSERT IGNORE INTO `localuser` (lu_wiki,lu_name,lu_attached_timestamp,lu_attached_method,lu_local_id,lu_global_id) VALUES ('wikiconf','Test77','20210616223453','new','8076',156993)

Backtrace:

. . . etc

Thanks for all the details! Should be fixed now. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 08:54, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Ah, good.

Empowerment

Are you empowered to delete pages? I would like to delete 2021/Submissions/fr-draft and 2021/Submissions/fr-temp -- Econterms (talk)

Done! I've also made you an administrator :) ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 05:57, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
Thank you! -- Econterms (talk) 11:37, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Form input request

We can live without this . . . but is there a way to prevent somebody from clicking "Create submission" on this page, before either (a) creating an account, or (b) filling in a title? https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2021/Submissions

We want them to get some kind of message, or get a place to fill in the title or something on the next screen. I put in a sort of message, for English only. If I see what you do I will try to fiddle with it for French or Spanish. -- Econterms (talk) 22:18, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Mark submissions as drafts?

How can a submitter save a submission but mark it as a draft, not ready to be evaluated? This one, for example, is a real submission still under development: Submissions:2021/Vaccine Safety Edit-a-thon. It would be easy to have a template marking a document as an unfinished draft, but I don't know how to have the submitted select it from the form-input. -- Econterms (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Like this, copied from wikidc.org: Template:SubmissionsStatus Can we mark drafts, submissions under consideration, and submissions which have been evaluated? Maybe a category for drafts not yet submitted would be enough. I'm brainstorming. -- 14:18, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Done! I added a question at the bottom of the submission form to let people select either Submit or Draft. Selecting draft will add Template:2021/Draft to the top of the page instead of Template:2021/Pending. Drafts will also be categorized in Category:Submissions/2021/Draft.
For accepting or declining, we can set the status to Accepted or Declined. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 10:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
