Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to California State Parks. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
