draft gm sage drafts custom-content analytics monetization

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently, GM+ users can set an specific article to be shown if an user clicks an article they have no access to, useful for people that want to push their monetization or remind users to set roles for themselves.   However, there isn't any equivalent for links to draft articles, so all articleblocks or other links to drafts make the user go to a generic, non-editable page, breaking immersion and not allowing authors to send a custom message about it.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Having an option for users to link to an specific article when a reader clicks on a draft would allow for a more complete and immersive experience.   Additionally (and this is the use I personally want) it allows the author to send a personalized message, such as a call to action for the reader ("Let me know if you want to read this article so I can prioritize it on my list!") and to not have to worry about having their readers go to a link external to their world (breaking the analytics for sage+ users)  

What are other uses for this feature request?

  • Immersive, dynamic articles, for worlds with mysteries that could be linked to unwritten content (Ex: "You have landed in unwritten mystery. The gods tell you to choose a path")
  • Linking the user to other content to read while they wait for this article to be finished
  • Call to action for monetization, such as having "bump this draft's priority" as a patreon reward
  • Call to action for the user to comment with a request to finish the article that landed them there

      This feels like something that would help readability of worlds a lot for members.

      I would use this. I didn't know about the custom access denied article.

      I definitely feel like I can't allow people to see my drafts. Having a way to allow people to see lore that's "in progress" but not yet finalized or canonized could be a really cool feature.

      I can't use any of these features yet (might upgrade again to GM in a few years) but yeah, this would be great. My friend was helping me with some stuff for my world, and while he couldn't use direct links to articles (they appear to bold themselves), articleblocks he could - and I use articleblocks almost as much as links.

      This is actually something I had problems with, but didn't even cross my mind to suggest it as a new feature. Kudos to you for bringing this up!

      I second what's been said. I'd like to be able to redirect people to another of my articles or to the discussion board to have feedback about what I should prioritize.

      This would be great for those who like to use article blocks to illustrate their work, especially people with a lot of stubs. :D

      While I don't think my draft links appear as clickable, I know the articleblocks I use regularly in the sidebar are. I am still working on writing a lot of the framework for Vazdimet but I still add the unwritten articleblocks where they apply and I would love to be able to use this feature rather than have my readers hit a 404 page.
