A '''userspace draft''' is a draft, in someone's userspace, of material which will ultimately go into Wikipedia.
''Explanation:''
* Every user on Wikipedia has their own "userspace" - for instance, [[User:Example/Lipsum]] is a page in [[User:Example]]'s userspace. Userspace is part of Wikipedia, and its use is governed by community rules ([[WP:Userspace#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space|Ownership and editing of pages in the user space]]), but is not part of the encyclopedia. (The encyclopedia part of Wikipedia is called "mainspace" - eg [[Lorem ipsum]] is a page in mainspace.)
* Drafts are typically done on a "[[WP:USERSUBPAGE|user subpage]]" (eg [[User:Example/Lipsum]]).
''Cleaning up after yourself:''
* As a courtesy, when you have a page in your userspace you no longer need, edit it to add {{tl|db-userreq}} at the top. It will be deleted shortly.
