Help talk:Userspace draft

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)

Proposal at WikiProject Articles for Creation
Hello, there is currently a dicussion at WikiProject Articles for Creation which may interest you.

Thank you, Alpha Quadrant    talk    23:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed change to WP:Non-free content

Help!
When editing userspace drafts, is it acceptable to improve it as though it were an article or does WP:NOBAN apply?-- Laun  chba  ller  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)

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)

The traditional clothing store. The usual family destination. A landmark on Arcot road, Kodambakkam, Chennai. Some of the many commonly used terms used by the citizens of Chennai to portray their favourite fashion shop: Sekar Emporium. A fashion store that has been adding colours to the lives of Chennai, since 1952. In fact, festivities and celebrations for most of the city dwellers begin only after a customary visit to Sekar Emporium.

A long tradition that highlights the importance they had attached to the shop, which had in fact become a permanent part of their wardrobe. After all, no one understands the wardrobe requirements of Chennai as well as we do.

The popularity and wide spread acceptance of Sekar Emporium is not restricted only to individuals. Our quality products, varieties and services have built a good reputation for us among the most discerning institutions and corporate buyers too. That perhaps explains why we are the largest suppliers of uniforms to educational institutions, industries and commercial organizations in the city.

Sekar Heritage : Journey Begins from here

At Sekar Emporium, we want our customers to be always ahead of the changing times in fashion and be the trendsetter's. Which is why we scout from around the country to handpick the best quality dressing material. Only the best collections, with the latest designs, styles and cuts finding a place in our shelves. Catering to the fashion needs of everyone in the family, we have the widest range. From women's, men's, children's and infants. From traditional, modern, special occasion wear, and casuals. To formals, office wears and uniforms. Sekaremporium (talk) 07:22, 24 August 2018 (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.

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.

Example of user draft in Draft: namespace
I cannot understand the intent of Draft:Example/Username. I see 'Example' is the example username. If there is a draft article that has identical name as 'Example' username, they collide. Shouldn't it be Draft:Username/Example/Lipsum or something? AkiGoto (talk) 05:23, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This information page is not about stuff in Draft namespace. It is about stuff on a user subpage. As volunteers, editors have the freedom to create articles and potential content in the Draft namespace or on a personal subpage. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 17:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Harassment of editors who are creating content on subpages
We need to say something that forbids stalking and harassment of editors who are working on legitimate content on their subpages. While nothing is truly and fully "personal" here (even though the editor does initially own the copyright of what they create), and any editor who is obsessed enough about another editor's actions can observe what they are doing, they should not disturb that editor's content creation activities, ridicule them, or broadcast what they are doing on their subpage if what is being done there does not violate any rules. Such harassment is uncollegial and disruptive.

If there is any legitimate concern about such a subpage, the editor should be approached on their talk page in a civil manner and the issues discussed there and only there. (Note that using the talk page of a subpage does not ping the editor, so use their regular talk page.) They should AGF and be civil, not try to get another editor in trouble. Bad-faith editors who obsessively stalk other editors and ridicule what they are doing are detrimental to the project. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 17:40, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
