Understanding draft pages

Drafts are meant to be works in progress. Namespace Draft is intended to provide a temporary space for entries which are not yet ready for publication.

  • The draft namespace can be used for entries you are actively working on but are not complete. Add or move the new draft entry to the draft namespace [[Draft:Article name]]. Entries should also be added to Category:Draft by adding [[Category:Draft]] to the bottom of the page
  • Drafts may also be added as a "user subpage" (e.g. User:Your nick/Article name). User-specific drafts may also be located on a subpage in Draft space (e.g. [[Draft:Article name/Username]]). These too should be added to Category:Draft by adding [[Category:Draft]] to the bottom of the page
  • Publishing a draft requires an editor to use the page move function to move it in the Main (article) namespace. This also maybe be accomplished by adding Template {{Move}} to the top of the page for a curator to review and move the entry to the proper namespace and category.
