Just FYI, you can't copy and paste a draft into mainspace while the draft is still awaiting review, because that bifurcates the page's actual history. Accordingly, I deleted the version that you had copy-pasted directly into mainspace, but I then went ahead and immediately approved the draft so that the page's overall history all the way back to August 9 is actually intact. It's not that the article itself was a problem, it's just that we have to keep the edit history intact so that other people can see the whole history and not just a piece of it — so we have to move pages from one place to another rather than cutting and pasting them from one places to another so that the history stays in one piece.

Thank you. Im new to wikipedia. I didnt even know you could create an article without a drafts review until I accidentaly did. Once I realised what I did I was trying to either delete the draft or unsubmit it so thank you fixing that for me. Bernner (talk) 01:32, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. New editors do start out unable to create an article without draft review in their first days here, but after you've been around for a couple of weeks you do gain the ability to just create articles in mainspace.
I'd also suggest that you may want to look at the "sandbox" option as well; up in the menu at the top of the page where you see your username and talk, there should be a "sandbox" link there. You can just create new articles directly on that page itself, or you can divide it up into further subtitles the way I have in my sandbox at User:Bearcat/sandbox — basically it's sort of like draft, in that you can use it to work on stuff that you need time to finish, but the difference is that you don't have to submit sandbox pages for review afterward, and can just move or cut-and-paste them into mainspace a lot more freely. So I hope that tip helps you in the future, because it should simplify a lot of things now that you don't have to rely on draftspace anymore.
Thanks again. Bearcat (talk) 01:40, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
