Manual:Edit Recovery

From mediawiki.org

The Edit Recovery feature is a browser-based system of saving in-progress edits to allow recovery if the browser is accidentally closed. For more information, see the project page on Meta.

It applies to the default wikitext editor of MediaWiki (HTML textarea element, aka 2003 wikitext editor) and the 2010 wikitext editor . The VisualEditor has a similar feature, although it uses SessionStorage rather than IndexedDB and so recovers data when e.g. a closed window is reopened, whereas Edit Recovery aims to work any time the same page is opened for editing (in the same browser).

As of MediaWiki 1.41, it can be enabled with the temporary configuration setting $wgEnableEditRecovery .
