The sequence I've observed to work the best, as far as creation of successful tasks:
1) Someone creates a task, and uses <nowiki>{{draft task}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{task}}</nowiki>, to invite people to critique it and add
some trial solutions.

4) The task is refined, and we jump back to step 2.
5) Eventually people don't see a need to refine the task farther, and the task gets switched from <nowiki>{{draft task}}</nowiki>

Sometimes step 1 is skipped, and the author uses <nowiki>{{task}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{draft task}}</nowiki>. When that happens, steps 2
and onward still occur; it just gets a little rougher.
