             Bug #: 29624
           Summary: WikiLove extension user input doesn't persist through
                    selection changes
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikiLove
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


If you're writing a message in WikiLove and decide to switch from "Cookie" to
"Cheeseburger", the form resets, clearing any user input such as a custom
message text or custom header. If you notice this and try to switch back to
"Cookie", the form simply resets again.

The same behavior can be seen when switching from "Kittens" to "Make your own"
(or whatever else) in the "Select type" section. When the user switches to a
different type, any user input vanishes.

This is upsetting. I'm not sure if this is browser specific. I'm running Chrome
on OS X.

If there's a way to make the data persist at least through one initiation of
WikiLove, that would be great. I don't think storing "draft" messages (per user
across an indefinite period of time) is necessary or anything like that.
Switching between type or sub-type shouldn't trigger all the user input to
disappear without warning, though.
