I am neutral on this (I think the noindex rule is really the main benefit compared with just warnings on an unreviewed article). One note on the implementation: an article might be called "draft"; we need to ensure across the board that we distinguish between "draft" and "draft/" here, e.g., we would not want an article with this title to be excluded from search.
Good catch, thanks. I've added this to the technical notes: the check is always the full prefix draft/, with the slash. An article named draft or draft-horse stays a normal article: indexed, listed and searchable. One shared helper will do the check everywhere, with tests for these cases. robots.txt uses Disallow: /draft/, which also leaves /draft alone.

Please also note the new namespace logic that just landed as part of https://github.com/permacommons/agpwiki/pull/109
Thanks, noted in the technical notes. Drafts become a third namespace (draft, prefix draft/) in page-address.ts, next to article and meta. So the existing resolvePageAddress / pageNamespaceSql do the check, and lists that keep only articles leave drafts out on their own. No separate helper.
One point I'm checking with jz: whether the duplicate check should compare a new draft with articles too, since a draft is meant to become one.

I still think it is beneficial to have this in addition to no-index rule also so that the pages dont get discovered by humans, etc. if they were not intended to be discoverable
