'''Drafts''' are often created to work on future articles before they are ready to be published or otherwise might not yet meet Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability guidelines]]. These are located in either the [[Wikipedia:Drafts|"Draft" namespace]] or a [[WP:USERSAND|user sandbox]] to avoid any possibility that a casual reader may stumble upon them; those areas are also excluded from [[search engine indexing]]. {{tlx|Draft article}} goes further, prominently tagging the draft article ''as'' a draft, and at the same time provides convenient links to help build the article and facilitate submission via the [[WP:AFC|articles for creation]] process. This also categorizes the page to [[:Category:Draft articles]] or one of its sub-categories.

Using {{tlxs|AfC draft|''username''}} will place {{tl|AfC submission/draft}} on the page, which provides even more guidance and begins the Articles for Creation process at the 'draft' stage.

== Usage ==

Do not use this template in [[wp:mainspace|mainspace]], as it will not display. For article being developed in mainspace, consider {{tl|Under construction}} instead.

=== Default output ===
<code><nowiki>{{Draft article}}</nowiki></code> renders as
{{msg:Draft article|demo=yes}}

===Minimalist output===

<code><nowiki>{{Draft article|brief=yes}}</nowiki></code> renders as
{{msg:Draft article|brief=yes|demo=yes}}

===Intended target page===

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Draft article|''name''|brief=yes}}</code>, where ''name'' is the name of the intended target page for the draft article, will render as
{{msg:Draft article|name|brief=yes|demo=yes}}
Note this will work with the 'default' output as well as with {{para|brief|yes}}.

===Invite others to join in===
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Draft article|join-in=yes|brief=yes}}</code> will render as
{{msg:Draft article|join-in=yes|brief=yes|demo=yes}}
Note this parameter will work with the 'default' output as well as with {{para|brief|yes}}.

===Suppress "Submit for review" button===
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Draft article|noafc=yes}}</code> will render as
{{msg:Draft article|noafc=yes}}

===Categorization===

The {{para|subject}} parameter categorizes the article into a sub-category of [[:Category:Draft articles]] as shown below. '''Note''' that if the message box is not desired and ''only'' the category is necessary, use {{para|catonly|yes}}.
