-== AfC Buddy scoring script ==
-In order to assist with drives {{User|Excirial}} wrote a program - [[User:Excirial/AFCBuddy|AFCBuddy]] - that can generate both the mandatory list of diffs for a user, along with the code and awards for the scoreboard. AFCBuddy will generate the scoreboard for every user, but will only generate the diff list for users who give it permission to do so. If you wish for AFCBuddy to generate yours, please indicate this in your signup at the AFC Backlog drive's participants list.
-* The scoring system is as follows:
-** 1 point is earned per review.
-** 1 point is earned per re-review on other user's drive pages.
-** A bonus point is earned when you decline a submission as a copyright violation ([[WP:COPYVIO]]), and the page is then deleted by an admin.
-** 2 points are lost when '''two''' users fail a user's review. As the review has already earned one point, this counts as a loss of one point.
