Enable general fixes in Draft namespace
Open, MediumPublic

Description

Could you please enable most of AWB's general fixes in the Draft namespace? This would allow for easy cleanup of articles before promoting them to mainspace. Some fixes that would NOT be appropriate would be those related to categorization and maintenance tagging. Thanks!

I support @GoingBatty's list, save for "ReorderReferences" which is now disabled on mainspace by default.
