Template:Draft/doc

Always substitute this template. To use this template, include the following wikitext in an article: {{subst:Draft}}. After saving, the template's content will permanently replace the template call, and you can edit it as needed.

{{Draft}} is a convenience wrapper for {{Draft header}}, intended for use at the top of pages in the Draft: namespace. When used on drafts of existing mainspace articles, it automatically populates the |created= parameter of {{Draft header}} with the current timestamp and adds a comment explaining how to merge the draft into the mainspace article. If no corresponding mainspace article exists, {{Draft}} simply inserts {{Draft header}} without adding a comment.

{{subst:Draft}} (in Draft:Main Page) →
