Fashioning splints/torches (cloth + stick) is not working

[Typhin]

Description of issue

Using cloth bolts or other items on sticks to create torches or splints does not work. It brings up the "Do you want to make a torch or a splint?" menu, but then nothing happens.

Difference between expected and actual behavior

After making a selection, the item should be crafted, or an error message should explain why it could not be crafted.

Steps to reproduce

Make a stick (in-hand crafting from wooden plank)
Have a stack of cloth bolts or other material (at least 3 for Torch, 5 for Splint)
Use material on stick
Select desired item
...Nothing happens.

Specific information for locating

code/game/objects/items/weapons/material/stick.dm:30 has an error in the initial test to determine if a selection has been made and everything is ready to proceed. When it's testing to ensure the relevant objects still exist, it checks !QDELETED(src) but it should be testing without the negation. As it is, it only attempts to proceed if the stick has been deleted between the click to select a desired product and the selection of a desired product. Removing the negation allows the creation of items as expected.

Length of time in which bug has been known to occur

Shortly after Shaded Hills first appeared in Scav Station, I had discovered the interaction but could not get items to craft. I then forgot about it until splints were mentioned due to the travois issue and I mentioned splinting broken limbs and stopping bleeding was a way to prevent dragging damage. Another player mentioned needing a way to craft splints, and that's when I remembered the interaction and began my investigation.
