Help me!

I have written one article (my first) which is waiting in the sandbox space for review. Now I want to start a new article but can't find out how to create a new draft page without deleting the one waiting for review. Do I have to wait for the first article to be moved to Wikipedia? I guess I could just draft the new one in Word and wait? Thanks,

Hello, Redilion. I think I can help answer your question. It looks like you created Draft:Mark Melford, right? Looking at the draft's history ([1]) it looks like you originally created it at User:Redilion/sandbox. Normally when pages are moved (in this case by another editor) a wp:redirect is left in their place which automatically loads another page. If you click on the sandbox link, you'll notice a little note under the titles saying "(Redirected from User:Redilion/sandbox)". If you click on that link, it will go to the page without redirecting. This link will also do that: [2]. You can just edit that page, removing the redirect, or if you would prefer, you can create another draft/sandbox. You could call it something like User:Redilion/sandbox2 if you would like. Does that answer your question? Grayfell (talk) 05:30, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks I Grayfell think I get it. Redilion (talk) 06:30, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
