Description

When making larger edits, and in particular writing new articles, there is a possibility of data loss (possibly hours worth) due to:

  • a power outage,
  • a browser crash,
  • a network outage (if one chooses to preview their changes while network is temporarily offline),
  • accidental browser closure.

Affected users

Advanced editors: who write larger articles, and two groups which, I believe, Wikimedia is particularly keen to recruit/retain.
New editors: Who are likely to be particularly discouraged if their hard work is lost.
