The closure says that AFC doesn't need to change, not that we should continue to make all new article proposals continue to go through it. There's not actually a consensus that new articles must be proposed through AFC. Also, search *does* link to AFC on English Wikipedia, just log out and search for something. Part of the reason the Draft namespace was asked for was because the homegrown scripts, templates, and bots at AFC are not robust enough to handle the large volume of page creations on English Wikipedia. Let's not make the same mistake twice, if we want really avoid creating a new backlog like the 40,000+ abandoned drafts that still need to be cleaned up. Now that's clear there's support, let's work on defining what the absolute minimum viable requirements are for the new namespace. Let's not be hasty in adding a namespace we want to be successful and persist for a long time. There's no deadline. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
