විකිපීඩියා:Drafts
Drafts are pages in the Draft namespace (draftspace) where new articles[note 1] can be created and developed, for a limited period of time.[note 2] They allow editors to develop new articles and to receive feedback before being moved to Wikipedia's article namespace (mainspace). If you are logged in, creating a Draft version first is optional. Editors may instead choose to create draft pages in their userspace, or new articles directly in mainspace after the user has become autoconfirmed or confirmed. This namespace was created, and the current process established, in December 2013. How drafts workFinding draftsDrafts are not indexed by most search engines including Google,[note 3] meaning most readers will not find them. Anyone can search and view drafts on Wikipedia directly using Wikipedia's built-in search engine: simply choose "Advanced", then tick "Draft" and/or "Draft talk" on the list of options (i.e. in this manner). The list of all draft pages is at Special:AllPages or Special:PrefixIndex. You can also view සැකිල්ල:Recentchanges to the namespace, newly created drafts, visit a random draft, or see Wikipedia:AfC sorting. Some drafts are sorted by subtopic under Category:Draft articles. As the draft namespace is a common location for incubating articles (unlike user space), users are notified through Template:New page DYM when visiting a non-existent article whose title does exist in draft space, to prevent unnecessary creation of duplicates on current events, and to help editors discover abandoned drafts to take over and save time rather than starting from scratch: The warning is also invoked by Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Main for existing mainspace pages.
Creating and editing draftsAnyone, including users who are not logged in, can create and edit drafts. Drafts have "Draft:" before their normal title, and also have an associated draft talk page. Users who have VisualEditor enabled will be able to use VisualEditor just like on articles. An autoconfirmed account (an account with at least 10 edits and created at least 4 days ago) is required to change a page from a draft to an article. Doing so is done by moving the page to a title without "Draft:" in front of it. If there is a technical barrier to the move, such as when the creation of an article may be protected, seek assistance at places such as the Teahouse, the technical moves page, or the request for unprotection page.
Preparing drafts
Moving drafts to mainspace
Putting the article in the main namespace (where normal articles are) requires an editor to use the page move function to move it into the Main (article) namespace. This means that anonymous editors, or registered editors who are not autoconfirmed, will need to request help with this step by inserting into their drafts the relevant template for requesting a page move. Optionally, editors can also submit drafts for review via the articles for creation process by adding the code An article created in draftspace does not belong to the editor who created it, and any other user may edit, move, rename, redirect, merge or seek deletion of any draft.[note 4] Moving articles to draftspaceThe aim of moving an article to draft is to allow time and space for the draft's improvement until it is ready for mainspace. It is not intended as a backdoor route to deletion. As a matter of good practice, the editor moving a page to draft should mark its talk page with the tags of any relevant projects as a means of soliciting improvements from interested editors. {{uw-articletodraft}} may be used on the creator's talk page to notify them. As a result of a deletion discussionArticles may be moved to become a draft as a result of a deletion discussion, indirectly following deletion and a request for undeletion. When performing such a move, link to the original deletion discussion and the decision to move the article into draftspace. Authors should try to understand and respond to the reason for moving to draft status, and then use the AfC submission process to have the page moved back to mainspace. The author is encouraged to ask other editors questions, or to use the {{Help me}} template. During new page reviewThe community has also allowed for new articles to be moved to draft space as an alternative to deletion. Below are a set of best practices to follow when draftifying an article in these circumstances. As part of the review of new pages, an unreviewed page may be moved to draft if:
Expanding on the above: Has some merit
Does not meet the required standard
No evidence of active improvement
Does not contain copyright violations
When the author clearly has a conflict of interest
Requirements for draftifying editorsTo unilaterally move an article to draft space, you should:
ObjectionsOther editors, including the author of the page, but excluding editors with a conflict of interest, have a right to object to draftifying the page. If an editor raises an objection, move the page back to mainspace and, if necessary, list it at AfD. A page may only be moved unilaterally to the draftspace a single time. If anyone objects, it is no longer an uncontroversial move, and the page needs to be handled through other processes, such as deletion, stubbing, tagging, etc. Draftifying during deletion discussionsDraftifying during an AfD should preferably be avoided. The AfD etiquette about moving pages during deletion and review discussions is good advice:
Tools for moving articles to draft space
Deleting a draftDrafts are meant to be works in progress, and most will not meet Wikipedia's standards for quality at first. Speedy deletionThe general section of the criteria for speedy deletion may be applied to drafts. Drafts that are copyright violations, vandalism, disparage or attack their subject, are tests, or unambiguous advertising or promotion will be speedily deleted. Miscellany for deletionDrafts are not subject to article deletion criteria like "no context", "no indication of importance", or "not in English" so creators have time to e.g. establish context or notability, translate, and make other adjustments and improvements. Drafts may be nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion (MfD), but not solely because the draft fails to show that the notability guidelines are satisfied. A draft that has been repeatedly resubmitted and declined at AfC without any substantial improvement may be deleted at MfD if consensus determines that it is unlikely to ever meet the requirements for mainspace and it otherwise meets one of the reasons for deletion outlined in the deletion policy. Substantial leeway is given to drafts; however, the community may decide to delete a draft via MfD if it is determined that the reasons for deletion are strong.[note 6] Deletion of old draftsDrafts that have not been edited in six months may be deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G13. Most G13 nominations for deletion are done by bots or users using Twinkle or AFCH, processes that inform the draft creator on their talk page. Pages deleted under G13 may be restored upon request at WP:REFUND (see Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13). Promising draftsDrafts may be tagged with {{promising draft}} by an editor other than the original draft creator, if they feel that a draft is promising. This tag cannot be used to indefinitely prevent a G13 speedy deletion nomination,[note 7] but extra attention should be directed to determining the viability of a draft bearing this notice before seeking to delete it. Redirects from drafts moved to mainspaceRedirects that are a result of page moves from the draft namespace to the main namespace should be retained.[note 8] See also
