Hi @Superpes15
Now We have community consensus for draft namespace. Pleae refer below links.
https://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/விக்கிப்பீடியா:ஆலமரத்தடி_(தொழினுட்பம்)#வரைவுப்_பெயர்வெளி
Can you please help us to enable this? Also let me know if any assistance needed from our end.

Hi @Neechalkaran, for sure! I just need some informations:
- First of all, what should be the names of the draft and draft_talk namespaces in Tamil?
- Do you have preferences for the robot policy? For example, do you want to completely de-index the Draft/Draft_talk namespaces (setting noindex and nofollow)? If so, do you want also to disable manual indexing, so the INDEX/NOINDEX magic words won't work in the draft namespace, even if manually added in a draft?
- Do you want to enable the visual editor in the Draft namespace?
Let me know and I'll make a patch :) Best

Hi @Superpes15
- draft = வரைவு, draft talk = வரைவு பேச்சு are the names we suggest.
- yes we don't want search engine indexing. Please make completely deindex.
- yes, enable Visual editor in these namespaces.
Thanks for making patch

Ok many thanks! So, if you agree, I also disable manual indexing (so INDEX/NOINDEX don't work in the draft namespace)!

@Neechalkaran As said above, such a change would require another discussion and a new ticket (and still a very big consensus imho).
Btw the patch is live and now draft and draft_talk ns are enabled :) Note that I have deliberately not activated the visual editor in the draft_talk namespace, because I noticed that this type of change is included among prohibited changes! So only draft namespace has the VE enabled ;) Best!
