Bug ID: 73132
Summary: On article creation in mainspace, please alert editors
about existing articles in draft namespace
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
Given the severe backlog of AfC submissions, please alert editors who are about
to create an article in mainspace with a name that already exists in the draft
namespace. Not all editors check for drafts before they start bashing keys.
Reasons: maximize editors' time, promote collaboration
Maybe also change the following. When a visitor is searching for a subject,
either via the simple search form or by manually entering the /wiki/ URL, and
there is no article in mainspace but a draft exists, Wikipedia's '404 page'
could also clearly mention the draft.
Reasons: encourage contributions, promote collaboration
