Anyone, including users who are not logged in, may create and edit drafts. Drafts in the namespace 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. Registered editors may also move a userspace draft in to the Draft namespace if they choose.


Incubation was previously done at the . Once in draftspace, incubated articles have the same status as other drafts.

Publishing a draft will (for now) require an editor to use the page move function to move it in the Main (article) namespace. This means that anonymous editors, or registered editors not , will need to request publication by inserting into their drafts the relevant template for page move. Editors may also optionally submit drafts for review via the articles for creation process.

An article created in draftspace does not belong to the editor who created it, and any other registered user can decide that it is done and can be published. Editors who do not want that to happen should use their sandbox or talk page subsections.

The general section of the criteria for speedy deletion may be applied to drafts. Drafts that are copyright violations, vandalism, BLP violations, or blatant advertising or promotion will be speedily deleted. No special deletion policy for drafts has been decided.

Drafts are not subject to article deletion criteria like "no context" or no indication of notability. Drafts may be nominated for deletion at , but not on a primary concern of notability.

Drafts that were created through the articles for creation process and include the {{}} template may be deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G13. Most G13 deletions are listed for deletion by bots, which may also warn and inform the draft creator. Pages deleted under G13 may be restored upon request at WP:REFUND (see ).
