Currently by default PmWiki doesn't warn when people edit a page, and try to move away from the edit form without saving.

We have $EnableNotSavedWarning but it needs to be enabled in config.php by the administrator.

I added it to sample-config.php, but I wonder if instead we should simply enable it by default.

I believe the setting dramatically improves the user experience and saves a lot of frustration, especially with inexperienced editors and administrators (who have yet to read the documentation and enable the setting).

The setting, enabled, might possibly interfere with some custom edit forms, although I am not aware of such a case, or with some of the existing recipes that do exactly this.

If we enable it by default, anyone who doesn't need this feature can disable it with

   $EnableNotSavedWarning = 0;

Even if there might be existing administrators who may be annoyed to add this line when they upgrade, I feel the benefit from having the feature enabled outweighs the downside.

Thoughts?

I' am for this, it is as you said and makes a better default config. I always enable it myself.
