Drafts are pages in the Draft namespace (draftspace) where new articles [note 1] can be created and developed, for a limited period of time. [note 2] They allow editors to develop new articles and to receive feedback before being moved to Wikipedia's article namespace (mainspace). If you are logged in, creating a Draft version first is optional.
All pages in the User namespace, for example, are user pages, whereas Drafts are in the Draft namespace. This page is in the Wikipedia namespace, for information or discussions about the project itself and its policies. Wikipedia has 28 current namespaces: 13 subject namespaces, 13 corresponding talk namespaces, and 2 virtual namespaces.
Time limits and auto-processing DraftSpace has time limits (the G13 process). UserSpace time limits to be discussed. If there is to be a time limit, on reaching the time limit, the page is tobe automatically moved to Draftspace, and there the DraftSpace time limit clock begins.
A userspace draft is a draft of an article (or part of an article) associated with a specific user account and stored in the user namespace. Userspace drafts are distinct from drafts located in the Draft namespace. You must create a user account to have your own userspace, and you must be logged in to use it. Explanation:
The project namespace is not a free web host and should not be used as a long-term archive to host pages that look like articles. Articles in the project namespace under construction may be moved to the draft namespace or userspace draft allowing time for their development and feedback before being moved to Wikipedia's mainspace.
To add a category to a user space draft, edit the article and add the category using the syntax [[:Category:Category name]] at the bottom of the article, e.g. [[:Category:Mind-body interventions]]. The colon syntax will not add your draft to the listing of articles in the category, but will list the categories as links at the bottom of the article.
Only move article drafts that have not been edited for a considerable period of time. They can be moved into the article namespace if they are worthy of publication immediately, into the draft namespace to encourage collaborative improvement, or to your userspace if you intend to adopt them. Do not take drafts from active users.
