It is still far too early to do this. We still need to resolve a lot of
open questions around the Draft namespace. We don't advertise drafts on red
links or search yet, we haven't figured out how to deal with drafts for
articles that already exist, how to present a proper feed of drafts, and
lots more. Plus, it's only on English Wikipedia so you're not going to get
much bang for your buck working on implementing some kind of suggested
content via Wikidata.

We should put this idea in the list of future possible enhancements at
