Special:Mypage/ prefix

I'd appreciate testing of User:Trevj/Help:Userspace draft noprefixneeded this amended page. (I don't have the confidence to directly edit the main page now, considering its prominence.) The new page uses this update, which has been around for 11 months. If this is acceptable, then I can update this talk post too. Thanks for your time. --trevj (talk) 15:42, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Excellent, a lovely little simplifying parameter which makes things a little less confusing for newcomers. Thanks for bringing it here. cheers, Rd232 ^talk 21:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposal at WikiProject Articles for Creation

Hello, there is currently a dicussion at WikiProject Articles for Creation which may interest you. The discussion's topic is on whether or not the Userspace draft option in the article wizard should be removed, relocated, or replaced. The discussion is located here. Thank you, Alpha Quadrant ^talk 23:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed change to WP:Non-free content

Help!

{{helpme}} When editing userspace drafts, is it acceptable to improve it as though it were an article or does WP:NOBAN apply?--Launchballer 22:22, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

As a rule of thumb, if the editor is an active editor, ask him. If he's not, consider emailing him. If he appears to be unreachable, and the userspace draft is clearly decent draft of a notable topic which does not have an article or a different draft (check Drafts: and Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/ ), consider moving it to either Draft: or WT:AFC/ or, if there's any chance that this might be controversial, opening a discussion on a relevant WikiProject or just create a new page from scratch. Whatever you do, bear in mind that making such a heavy edit to another user's page or moving it can come back to bite you.

One general exception: If you are making edits to enforce policy or guidelines that apply to either userspace drafts or user-sub-pages in general, then you should make that edit. Examples including hiding copyright violations and BLP violations or other things that are simply not appropriate for user-space, or moving a user-space draft that is on the user's actual user page to a sub-page (be sure to UN-CHECK the "also move talk page" checkbox). If you make any edits of this nature, it's polite (I would say "implicitly required") to notify the editor on his talk page. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:38, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. I am dealing with User:Storm05, who hasn't edited in five and a half years and has a number of blanked draft articles.--Launchballer 22:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Are you trying to create a userspace draft? Altamel (talk) 20:15, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

So what is a Userspace draft?

After reading through this page, I'm still completely unsure of what a userspace draft is, or what a legitimate purpose of using one would be. Any help on this would be fantastic. Are userspace drafts a space where you can draft and save changes to an actual (mainspace...(?)) article? So they're saved somewhere prior to being published?--Kitty4777 (talk) 16:13, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

@Kitty4777 A userspace draft gives you a place to strengthen your article (especially finding additional sources) before putting it up in mainspace, where it will be subject to more scrutiny. If you create a userspace draft and keep working on it, it generally will not be deleted, whereas new page patrollers often have little patience for pages that sound promotional or don't make a sufficient claim to notability. You don't have to make a userspace draft before posting a new page. Some editors just prefer having a place to organize either a new article or large changes to an existing article in their userspace before throwing it out into the mainspace where everybody can jump on it. Hope that helps. Altamel (talk) 19:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Drafts in Userspace vs Draftspace

This help page needs to better clarify the difference between drafts located in Userspace vs drafts located in Draftspace. Blueboar (talk) 11:43, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

B4 clarification

A clarification to WP:UP/RFC2016 § B4 has been proposed. As the discussion concerns userspace drafts, interested editors are welcome at Wikipedia:User pages/RfC for stale drafts policy restructuring/B4 clarification. Thanks, — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 16:08, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

The discussion is closed as "opposed". See more details there. --George Ho (talk) 01:02, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion on a minor edit

On the page;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Userspace_draft
it seems like; the sentence,
Userspace Drafts are typically made on a "user subpage" (e.g. User:Example/Lipsum). ...
needs to be updated as;
Userspace Drafts are typically made on a "user subpage" (e.g. User:Example/sandbox/Lipsum). ...
because currently a draft is created with this path, I mean, as a subpage of the user's sandbox.
Thanks. Mehmetcaputcu (talk) 13:05, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

I don’t think it makes a difference whether we mark a userspace draft with “sandbox” or not ... both are located in userspace and that should be clear enough. Blueboar (talk) 15:01, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

The relation between a draft and a sandbox is not clear. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 10:32, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

If it is in Userspace, there is no difference. They are the same. I suppose you could say that if the user is experimenting with formatting it is a “sandbox”... and if they are experimenting with wording it is a “draft”... but it should be viewed as an experiment in either case.

Hello, I want to edit the page andit won't let me on any pages because I feel like some of the word is a little bit bad why some of the game I can't even understand nor my friend that why I was doing more research and found out what that word meant.

In this article:

• Userspace Drafts are typically made on a "user subpage" that starts with "User:". Use this format [[User:UserHandle/Lipsum]] (which creates User:UserHandle/Lipsum). Adapt that format to your personal needs.
