=== Usage ===
This template is meant as a single template for marking the status of an [[WP:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]] submission. To use this template to submit an article for review, use {{Tlsp|submit| ''username'' }}, where ''username'' is the username of the draft's creator (left blank it will assume it is you). The template uses one of the following parameter options:
* {{Tlp|AfC submission|T}} produces the unsubmitted draft banner {{tl|AfC submission/draft}}
** Shortcut: {{Tlps|AfC draft| ''username'' }}, where ''username'' is the username of the draft's creator (left blank it will assume it is you).
* {{Tl|AfC submission}} (no first parameter) produces the pending submission banner {{tl|AfC submission/pending}}
** This may also be produced using {{Tlps|submit|''username''}}, as discussed above.
* {{Tlp|AfC submission|D}} produces the declined banner {{tl|AfC submission/declined}}, or the rejected banner {{tl|AfC submission/rejected}}, depending on whether the <code>reject</code> parameter is passed with some value
* {{Tlp|AfC submission|R}} produces the reviewing banner {{tl|AfC submission/reviewing}}
* When a submission is moved into mainspace, it produces the "created" message {{tl|AfC submission/created}}

=== 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.
