TheDraft: namespace is a separatenamespace implemented on a few wikis. Research indicates that the Draft: namespace iswhere articles go to die.

Specifically, if an article is moved out of the mainspace, it gets:

• fewer experienced editors looking at the article (and therefore able to find and correct serious problems)
• less collaboration to improve the article
• lower likelihood of the article reaching a typical level of development

Editors who want to develop an article before making it easily found by readers can use a sandbox or page in the User: namespace.
