Isarra <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #22 from Isarra <[email protected]> 2012-09-16 04:23:11 UTC --- As a user, this seems useful. What to do about edit conflicts might be an issue, but even a short warning not to leave it too long (and why) upon saving a draft could be enough for that, and if a page is too highly edited, maybe just removing the draft option entirely on those would be in order? Could confuse people a little at first, but they'd probably catch on eventually since a draft on, say, enwp's WP:ANI would make NO BLOODY SENSE in the first place. Just suddenly turning on automatic drafts could also pose problems due to current habits of starting edits and then thinking better of them and leaving, as opposed to using the cancel button, but editors can be retrained. On the other hand, since editing and then previewing is not only the only way to test things without saving them, but also a really convenient one, that might actually be an issue... but if all else fails, a user option to turn the automatic drafts off should fix that pretty effectively. And the only part of this that seems like it might go out of general enhancement territory and into OUTRAGE WHY YOU CHANGE THIS?! territory is the automatic drafts. But while a decision on the parts of the projects themselves whether or not enable that part at all might make them a little happier, why should be necessary, especially if users have the option to just turn it off themselves if they don't like it? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
