Editing Eurovision Wiki:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions (section)

=== Draft submissions ===

Draft submissions are designed to replace the [[WP:DRAFT|userspace draft]] option from the [[WP:WIZ|article wizard]]. Submissions are reviewed only after a review is requested. After a review is requested, it is reviewed like any other pending submission. If the submission meets the guidelines, it is accepted normally. If it needs improvement, it is declined. All draft submissions not pending review are located in [[:Category:Draft AfC submissions]].

Draft submissions are '''not''' meant to replace the current [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] system. Rather, it is meant to make it more effective by offering new editors a better way to create [[WP:DRAFT|draft articles]], without struggling with [[WP:RM|requested moves]] once they feel it is ready to be moved to mainspace.

A pending template can be turned into a draft template by replacing the second parameter with the letter "t". '''NOTE:''' Please only do this with the creator's permission.

==== Declining draft submissions ====
When a draft is submitted for review, there are two AFC submission templates. There is a [[Template:AFC submission/draft|draft submission template]], and a normal pending review template. The draft submission template is merely used to keep track of unsubmitted drafts. Once it has been submitted for review, this template should be removed. [[User:ArticlesForCreationBot|ArticlesForCreationBot]] is tasked with removing the draft submission template, so only the pending review template should remain. If a draft submission meets the quick fail criteria, then it is declined like any other submission.
