Description
Lack of cancel button during edition of wiki page is very confusing.
Should I use back button? Or where should I click to avoid disaster?

To tell the truth there is a lot of places in Redmine, where users suffer for lack the cancel or back to ... buttons.
Such a lack is a serious usability issue.

I agree that having a Cancel button when editing an issue or wiki page would be nice for users. I generally refresh my browser if I think I have messed something up, but that seems a tad clunky. Some of my users have expressed an expectation of seeing Cancel too.

+1 for every form that has Ok/Submit button. It should have Cancel button also. While editing this comment, I cannot but finish editing because there's no Cancel button. ;)

As I see it the main problem with Cancel button is to know were exactly to return to.
Attached suggested patch for "New issue" cancel button ,in this particular case ,
hitting cancel will get you "back" to "issues" which is what for my opinion is the most
likely what the user expects.
Again ,since the New issue is a tab ,were exactly do you redirect the user on Cancel?
Another possible option is to create a Clear button ,not the Cancel one.
The patch is against 1.2.0 stable.

Why not to solve this in parts ?
First solve the easy ones ? Like
- Issue update
- Wiki edit
- Others ?
Others more difficult we can leave to solve in future.

There's no special difficulty about where to go back in those cases I think. A back url mechanism as in other places in Redmine would be ok.
Some thoughts:- the difficulty is mainly UI: in "New Issue" we already have 2 buttons and one link, adding an other can add some confusion ; maybe throw it on the right side ?
- the previous button is always ok in Redmine ; I know there are a lot of apps out there that are still in the 90s and horribly break when using Previous/Next buttons, but Redmine is not one of them, there are clean redirects after form submissions so Previous/Next could only lead you to safe actions
- @Evgeny: thanks for your patch but I think we should do a simple link ; going with a button on the create action is semantically incorrect I think, and it's dangerous (if we break our check, we submit the form whereas we didn't want to)

I wrote a patch to add cancel button on wiki edit view.
I think the view should have cancel button for consistency of operation, because issue edit view on Redmine 2.6.1 and later has cancel button (#18051).

Updated the patch.
Move to a parent page when cancel is clicked if the page is new page.

Our users have requested a cancel link for new issues and news as well. Could this be implemented in 3.4.0? The target could be the previous page as already suggested above.
