Hmm, you might be right, if the drafts are saved too aggressively. Expiring them after a while would make sense. Also note, though, that we can save drafts locally in recent browsers (localStorage is even supported in IE8) and avoid pushing them to the server often -- I don't know if Drafts does this or not. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
