A '''talkspace draft''' is a draft article or article section which is a [[WP:SUBPAGE|subpage]] of a [[WP:TALKPAGE|talk page]] that can be created by either logged-in editors (users who have an account) or IP editors (users who do not have an account). It is designed for multiple users to collaborate on drafting. The primary alternative to a talkspace draft is a page in the [[WP:Drafts|Drafts: namespace]]. An alternative (especially if the draft is likely to be the work of one or primarily of one user) is a [[Help:userspace draft|userspace draft]] or a user-specific draft created as a subpage of Draft space (e.g. ''<nowiki>[[Draft:<Article name>/<Username>]]</nowiki>'').
