Drafts in userspace

Hey it's grapesurgeon from discord; just a tip, I recommend drafting new articles in your userspace from now on, and not in draftspace. For example, User:ARoseThorn/Azul Rojas Marín y otra vs. Perù instead of Draft:Azul Rojas Marín y otra vs. Perù ↗.

Draftspace is mostly for AFC; it's also implicitly timed because drafts that have been inactive for 6 months get autodeleted. Userspace has no such timer.

Also a reminder to just skip AFC and create articles directly from now on! grapesurgeon (talk) 05:17, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
