Basically you want the ability to asynchronously save the page. I've changed the bug summary to make this clearer ("Save page without closing it" --> "Add ability to save page asynchronously in MediaWiki"). This should probably be a JavaScript gadget. (In reply to comment #1) > Is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Drafts what you want? The current workflow when editing a MediaWiki page: * user reaches action=edit; * user modifies wikitext; * user presses "Save page" when ready; and * user is redirected to action=view with an updated parsing/rendering of the modified saved wikitext. The proposed workflow described in this bug is: * user reaches action=edit; * user modifies wikitext; * user presses "Save page" (or "Save page now" or some equivalent) when ready; and * user is not redirected to action=view, instead user stays at action=edit, but the modified wikitext is saved to the database. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
