Template talk:Draft article check

Redirects
Can the template be amended to omit redirects from its results? This is an important distinction from actual articles that should be made.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:55, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Not appearing in mainspace talk

 * 1) I installed the script, refreshed my cache, and when I went to Talk:Example, I did not see the template saying a draft was found.
 * 2) Also, is there a way for this to show in the mainspace for an uncreated article (Jessica Jones (TV series) to alert all editors that a draft is being developed (Draft:Jessica Jones (TV series)? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Regarding (1), this seems to be working now. Regarding (2) I think this is an excellent idea. I suspect the relevant template to change is Template:No article text. If you wanted to pursue this idea, perhaps WP:VPR is the way to go. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:32, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 7 March 2020
Please sync changes from Template:Draft article check/sandbox.

I've implemented the mainspace article existence check functionality for userspace - it's the same as how it works for draftspace, with the difference that by default the  is considered rather than. (This makes sense for userspace: eg. for User:SD0001/Barack Obama, the PAGENAME is "SD0001/Barack Obama" while SUBPAGENAME is "Barack Obama".)

So, if I'm drafting User:SD0001/Barack Obama and I include draft article (in which draft article check is transcluded), I'd get the message "There is already an article named Barack Obama in the mainspace."

This has been tested. SD0001 (talk) 09:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC) PAGE ]]) 01:30, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
