Restrict the ability of users to choose enwiki Draft: namespace for Wikidata interwiki links
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

With wikidata interwikilinks it is possible to add enWP's Draft: namespace. Pages in that namespace are not considered articles and should not be available to be chosen. Where a page at enWP is moved from the main ns to the Draft: ns at Wikidata it should be treated with the same methodology as the link removal process.

From Lydia:

I believe we can restrict links to specific namespaces in the config. I think that would be better than an abuse filter for performance reasons. Anyone up for creating a ticket?

It might be useful to replace the existing abuse filters for user pages, template subpages and files as well with limits via config if that's good for performance reasons.
