This page describes the phenomenon of Drafts namespace, which supersedes Articles for creation.

Who?

  1. All contributors who submit to Drafts or review them are affected.

Where?

  1. Article and drafts namespaces.

What?

  1. Drafts are a class of Wikipedia articles which do not pass inclusion criteria in their current shape, and are subject to less aggressive deletion criteria.
  2. Drafts are reviewed before being published.

What not?

  1. IP contributors don't create articles directly. The output is considered messy to process.
  2. Non-notable articles are not included, even if put neutrally. (2 could solve 1.)
  3. Less of human approach is in place, with introducing the new Decline and Approve article classes and templates.

When?

  1. When creating a new article.

Why?

  1. Reviewing drafts is the process designed to provide feedback to new contributors.
  2. Such process is thought to be more “editor engaging” than deletion on sight. (This is true.)
  3. Isolation from main namespace is considered necessary due to large flow of COI submissions.

Why not?

  1. Work without drafts could be more simple, merely requiring not lying in an article, were the inclusion criteria expanded.

How?

  1. Using JS scripts and templates to satisfy the template syntax needs.
