A '''userspace draft''' is a draft of an article (or part of an article) associated with a specific user account and stored in the user [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]. Userspace drafts are distinct from drafts located in [[WP:Draftspace]]. You must [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|create a user account]] to create your own userspace and be [[Special:UserLogin|logged in]] to use it.

''Explanation:''

|

* Every registered user account on Wikipedia has its own "userspace" – for instance, [[User:Example/Lipsum]] is a page called "Lipsum" in [[User:Example]]'s userspace.

|-

* Userspace is part of Wikipedia, and its use is governed by [[Wikipedia:User pages#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space|community rules]], but it is not part of the encyclopedia. (The encyclopedia part of Wikipedia is called the "[[Wikipedia:What is an article?#Namespace|mainspace]]" – e.g. [[Lorem ipsum]] is a page in mainspace.)

|

* Userspace Drafts are typically made on a "[[Wikipedia:User pages#SUB|user subpage]]" (e.g. [[User:Example/Lipsum]]). User-specific drafts may also be located on a subpage in [[Wikipedia:Drafts|Draft space]] (e.g. ''<nowiki>[[Draft:<Article name>/<Username>]]</nowiki>'').

|

* For a list of all your drafts (and any other subpages you have), click on "Contributions" (at the very top right of any Wikipedia page, if you're logged in), then scroll to the bottom and click the "Subpages" link.

* As a courtesy, when you have a page in your userspace you no longer need, add {{Tlx|db-userreq}} to the top of the page. It will be deleted shortly.

*In [[Wikipedia talk:Notability/Archive 58#RfC: Does WP:N apply to drafts in userspace or draftspace.3F|an RfC]] regarding the applicability of [[Wikipedia:Notability]] to drafts within the userspace and draftspace, it was determined that community consensus amounted to "notability guidelines do not apply to userspace and draftspace drafts".
