Article wizard should not overwrite existing drafts
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. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Proposed change to first page of the wizard
Suggested edit to first page, implemented at User:Gryllida/NewArticleBLPv1/preload/wizpage, to encourage new users to author tiny submissions which can be easier to review and reduce the backlog. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

- Seems backwards to me. The purpose of AfC is to help people create articles. This is saying article creators have to help people review them. If you find a draft too long to review, then don't review it. Neither of the above linked discussions appear to show consensus for this change. – Joe (talk) 06:49, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. In re-reading the past discussion, there was a reasonable consensus against making any sort of mandatory maximum length of a draft. Primefac (talk) 12:50, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
