Forum:Implementation of Draft system
Report post
|
With the surge of socks by users like Chuck, PBSArchive and Noah, and also to combat the huge number of stubs/empty pages created on this wiki, I think we should implement a Draft system similar to Wikipedia, or perhaps a system similar to the Writer system in WF. That means, newly-registered users would not be able to create pages in the main namespace until they reach a certain edit count, but they could do so in the draft namespace which could act as some sort of a "community sandbox". This is what User:Hb1290 said in another thread: Also I wouldn't be opposed to adding a draft space. It would be a useful place for new editors to figure things out and a good place to put things that aren't mainspace quality but aren't vandalism, trolling or crappy enough to warrant deleting them altogether. It would be an extra step of quality control that we probably need since we're getting more encyclopedic and moving beyond "Scaaaaaary logoz" and "cheesy factors". As for how it would work, we should at least create some guidelines, like: |

Just wanted to note that I already created the Draft namespace at the time that previous thread was active. I didn’t fully implement a system then because I thought some more discussion around guidelines was needed. Also wanted to add that draft space would be useful for even experienced editors, particularly if you’re gradually building an article but you don’t think it’s ready for mainspace yet |

At least we still can create pages. |

I am in strong support of this, especially given the unbalanced treatment towards users who create stub pages and most importantly, so that AlmightyKingPrawn can actually rest up after all those days of madness. It's about time you address this problem to the wiki. |
