Warning for users of this template
Please ensure, when you use this template, that it has linked to the correct location of the draft, and if not please correct it. A problem when applying the template in respect of user sandbox or subpages is identified at Template talk:Afc decline#Wrong draft location. The link tends to be correct in the message header but not in the body of the message.
Sometimes users will change their username after submitting a draft (especially in the case of new users with usernames that violate the username policy). If you use a tool such as AFCH to place this template, make sure that it doesn't get placed on a redirect page.
