Wikipedia:Article wizard/CreateDraft says to enter your draft name here. I think many new editors are misreading this as enter your name here, leading to the frequent issue of "User:NewEditor creates a draft about Example at the title Draft:NewEditor". Beyond requiring someone else to come along and move the drafts to the correct title, this also clutters the autobiography filter with drafts whose contents are clearly not autobiographies. I'm not sure how to word it better, though. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:00, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reworded it to "Enter the name of your draft here". Primefac (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From this diff, it appears the article wizard sometimes overwrites existing drafts. Does this wizard have a maintainer that can look into this possible bug? I think if the article wizard overwrites existing drafts some or all of the time, this is undesirable behavior and should probably be fixed.
