There are three stages in wiki publishing; preliminary drafts, formal peer review, and the "end stage" which is equivalent to traditional publishing of a peer reviewed article.
Preliminary drafts
Authors can place preliminary drafts of an article into wiki format with the intention of deciding to submit the article for formal peer review at a later date.
Such preliminary drafts should be marked with the {{Preliminary draft}} template:
This article is a working preliminary draft, NOT yet submitted for peer review. Leave your comments on the discussion page (talk page) or contact the First Author, [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]], at [[User talk:{{{1}}}|their talk page]] or by [[Special:Emailuser/{{{1}}}|email]].
