Drafts are often created to work on future articles before they are ready to be published or otherwise might not yet meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. These are located in either the "Draft" namespace or a user sandbox to avoid any possibility that a casual reader may stumble upon them; those areas are also excluded from search engine indexing. {{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 publication either directly or via the articles for creation process. This also categorizes the page to Category:Draft articles or one of its sub-categories.
Using {{subst:AfC draft|username}} will place {{AfC submission/draft}} on the page, which provides even more guidance and begins the Articles for Creation process at the 'draft' stage.
Usage
