It took me a minute to understand this. 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.

> 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.
