Wiki: lost article from preview

Added by Joachim Schulze about 13 years ago

I was writing a wiki article and inserted a link to antother existing an article. I did not save my article but clicked "Preview". The preview was fine and contained the link.
Then for foolish curiosity I clicked that link inside the preview and got the linked article. Fine. Clicked "Back" in the browser - oops! Where are my recent edits?

Is there any opportunity to retrieve what I had written until I refreshed the preview?

Some browsers will "remember" what the inputs on previous pages contained and restore it when you click "back" in the browser. Safari does for example.

Maybe in the logs, there should be a call to the preview function with the text of the wiki page.
