I feel this template is rather redundant. All drafts are open, so flagging one as particular open seems to create two classes of drafts. We should simply update the language in {{Draft}} if it's not considered welcoming enough (discussion). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:47, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Drafts explicitly mentions that drafts can be edited by everyone, as does {{Draft}}. If you object to drafts being a collaborative space, you should take it to WT:DRAFTS and start an RFC. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} —Preceding undated comment added 15:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I'm not objecting to the draftspace being collaborative. Mentioning the trite fact that a given draft – like all drafts – is editable by anyone is a different thing from encouraging people to contribute to it. – Uanfala (talk) 15:26, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: How about we add |join-in= to {{Draft}}? See Template:Draft article/doc#Invite others to join in.Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:15, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate it that you're trying to make an accommodation (especially now that the !vote tally makes it quite likely for your deletion proposal to pass), but I think this is an awkard solution: {{draft}} and {{open draft}} produce rather different outcomes and it will be counter-intuitive to tack them on to a single template. – Uanfala (talk) 20:41, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: Compare before and after. Not sure what the 'different outcomes' you refer to are, or how any of it is counter intuitive. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:45, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The outcome of one of the templates is a small box with a brief and specific message. The outcome of the other template is a massively detailed generic box, which – if a certain parameter is set to "yes" – would also include, at the end of it all, a message with a similar intention. That's what I mean by "different outcomes". – Uanfala (talk) 21:01, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Coffeeandcrumbs:, since you're the last person that used this template, how do you feel about before and after? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:47, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
