Welcome to WikiProject Articles for creation! This is the project page for editors interested in working on Articles for creation, Wikipedia:Redirects for creation, Wikipedia:Categories for creation and Files for upload.
Introduction
Only editors with Autoconfirmed and confirmed user levels are allowed to create mainspace articles directly, so Articles for creation, or AfC, opens a path for new users. Experienced editors can help develop and create drafts, and decline submissions that are not ready to be published.
An article may be unsuitable for many reasons. Submissions can be declined based on having insufficient context, containing copyright violations, not asserting notability, not being properly sourced, promotional language, and for other reasons.
A dedicated team of editors is needed to review the requests. There is often a backlog, so ensure submissions meet Wikipedia guidelines to avoid repeated declines.
Brief history
On 5 December 2005, in response to the Seigenthaler incident, unregistered users were stopped from creating new pages on the English Wikipedia (read about it in the Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost).
Consequently, the page Wikipedia:Articles for creation was set up by Creidieki (talk · contribs) and others, to allow unregistered users to submit articles for registered users to create on their behalf. The first page to be created was the redirect Fox Latin America requested by 140.247.23.58 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). The first article created was Horsea Island by Chemstud (talk · contribs).
Following huge backlogs, Kwsn and others started WikiProject Articles for creation on 2 June 2007.
Project goals
- Promote awareness of the WikiProject.
- Review requests at
- Promote, monitor and improve the articles and images created through the project.
How to get involved
We need you! Any editor who meets the criteria below can apply to be a reviewer. Reviewers must have:
- a Wikipedia account at least 90 days old.
- a minimum of 500 undeleted edits to articles.
- read and understood the reviewing instructions.
- a demonstrated understanding of the policies mentioned in the reviewing instructions, including the special notability categories.
- evidence of understanding the deletion policy (experience in areas such as CSD/AfD/PROD or page curation are beneficial).
- a willingness and ability to respond in a timely manner to questions.
Submissions must be reviewed in accordance with Wikipedia's established content policies and guidelines — become familiar with them. The reviewing instructions cover reviews of article drafts, redirects and categories, and file requests.
If you are unsure, ask for help! Some helpful places are the Reviewer talk page, the live chat in Wikipedia's Live Help Channel, or the #articles-for-creation channel in the NPP Discord.
To join, follow the instructions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants. Administrators and New Page Patrollers are automatically able to use the helper script and thus do not need to request access or add their name to the list.
Welcome template
This template is used to welcome new participants to the project. It can be added to a new participant's talk page by adding {{subst:AfC welcome}} to the bottom of the page:
Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Articles for creation! We are editors who work together on the Articles for creation and Files for upload processes.
Some helpful tips:
- Take time to read the reviewers' instructions.
- Feel free to ask for help at the reviewers' talk page.
- Submissions to be reviewed can be found in Category:Pending AfC submissions and there is a useful list which is maintained by a bot.
- You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of submissions. There is also a project userbox. If you haven't done so already, please consider adding your name to the list of participants by subject.
- Several of our members monitor Wikipedia's help IRC channel, and you are welcome to join in to ask Wikipedia-related questions.
- The IRC channel #wikipedia-en-afc connect is used occasionally for internal discussion regarding the AfC process, and also serves as a recent changes feed, displaying all edits made in the Articles for creation namespace.
- The help desk is the place where new editors can ask questions about their submissions. You are welcome to help in answering their questions.
Once again, welcome. ~~~~

Hello WikiProject Articles for creation,
Unregistered editors cannot create articles on Wikipedia, but they can use the articles for creation process to submit drafts that registered editors can either accept and publish or decline. WikiProject Articles for creation is looking for experienced editors who want to partake in this peer review process. If you have what it takes to get involved, then please take a look at the reviewing instructions. To discuss specific AfC reviews, do so freely on the designated talk page.
There is currently a backlog of over 2000 drafts (0 very old).
If you know an editor who may be willing to help out, please use the template you are currently reading {{subst:WPAFCInvite}}
to draw attention to this WikiProject. Many hands make light work!
To add an AFC icon to the top-right corner of a page, use: {{AFC topicon}}
