== Finding drafts == {{Shortcut|WP:DRAFTINDEX}} Drafts are [[WP:NOINDEX|not indexed]] by most search engines including Google,{{refn|group=note|name=one|Search engines or [[WP:MIRRORS|mirrors]] that do not respect the [[Robots exclusion standard|robots.txt]] convention might still index drafts.}} meaning most readers will not find them. Anyone can search and view drafts on Wikipedia directly using Wikipedia's built-in search engine: simply choose "Advanced", then tick "Draft" and/or "Draft talk" on the list of options (i.e. in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=&fulltext=Search&ns118=1&ns119=1&redirs=1&profile=advanced this manner]). The list of all draft pages is at [[Special:AllPages/Draft:|Special:AllPages]] or [[Special:PrefixIndex/Draft:|Special:PrefixIndex]]. You can also view {{Recentchanges|118}} to the namespace, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ANewPages&namespace=118&tagfilter=&username= newly created drafts], visit a [[Special:Random/Draft|random draft]], or see [[Wikipedia:AfC sorting]]. Some drafts are sorted by subtopic under [[:Category:Draft articles]]. As the draft namespace is a common location for incubating articles (unlike user space), users are notified through [[Template:New page DYM]] when visiting a non-existent article whose title does exist in draft space, to prevent unnecessary creation of duplicates on [[Wikipedia:Current event templates|current events]], and to help editors discover abandoned drafts to take over and save time rather than starting from scratch: The warning is also invoked by [[Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Main]] for existing mainspace pages. <blockquote> {{Draft at|Draft:Example}} </blockquote>
