[edit]

@Closed Limelike Curves thanks for sharing this wish. Which editor are you using, the visual or source editor? Both editors have capabilities to save edits in "draft," and I'm curious specifically what you'd like to see that's different. Are there any images you can share, or links to articles where a more robust "draft mode" would be helpful? Thanks! JWheeler-WMF (talk) 02:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I use both visual or source editor. Generally, I'd just like it if drafts were automatically saved somewhere, so that I wouldn't lose my progress if e.g. I had a browser crash. I'd also like to have multiple previous versions that I can look back over.
The current draft-saving functionality is quite fragile (I've had several times where it fails and I lose hours of work). Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 02:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
