After reading through this page, I'm still completely unsure of what a userspace draft is, or what a legitimate purpose of using one would be. Any help on this would be fantastic. Are userspace drafts a space where you can draft and save changes to an actual (mainspace...(?)) article? So they're saved somewhere prior to being published?--[[User:Kitty4777|Kitty4777]] ([[User talk:Kitty4777|talk]]) 16:13, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
:@[[User:Kitty4777|Kitty4777]] A userspace draft gives you a place to [[Wikipedia:Beef up that first revision|strengthen your article]] (especially finding additional sources) before putting it up in mainspace, where it will be subject to more scrutiny. If you create a userspace draft and keep working on it, it generally will not be deleted, whereas new page patrollers often have little patience for pages that sound promotional or don't make a sufficient claim to [[WP:N|notability]]. You don't ''have'' to make a userspace draft before posting a new page. Some editors just prefer having a place to organize either a new article or large changes to an existing article in their userspace before throwing it out into the mainspace where everybody can jump on it. Hope that helps. [[User:Altamel|Altamel]] ([[User talk:Altamel|talk]]) 19:37, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

== Drafts in Userspace vs Draftspace ==
This help page needs to better clarify the difference between drafts located in Userspace vs drafts located in Draftspace. [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] ([[User talk:Blueboar|talk]]) 11:43, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
