Purge base's cache

Drafts are often created to work on future articles before they are ready to be published. These are located in either the "Draft" namespace or a user sandbox to avoid any possibility that a casual reader may stumble upon them; those areas are also excluded from search engine indexing. {{Draft article}} goes further, prominently tagging the draft article as a draft, and at the same time provides convenient links to help build the article and facilitate submission via the articles for creation process. This also categorizes the page to Category:Draft or one of its sub-categories.

Todo: Add {{{1}}} to prevent adding this Template page into a Category page.
