I am new to mediawiki. When editing a page in mediawiki, there are three buttons to handle the form: "Save page", "Show preview" and "Show changes". Only "show page" can save the changes, but when pressing this button, the page exits the edit mode returns to read mode. This is really inconvenient when editing a page with long content. I need save frequently to ensure that my works will not be lost by accidents. Everytime I press "save page", I have to link the "edit page" and find the place I will edit.
Use a text editor and save to a file on your disk. This will annoy your fellow editors less. :)
