Unfortunately, that didn't work -- it just gave me the "database locked" page again. And I *had* clicked on Preview. That was where I got the error. I always do Preview when I'm making large edits, so I can copy it in case of an edit conflict. I'm just mad at myself for not getting it in under the wire.

I spent about 15 minutes working on [[April 5]] only to have the database lockout hit me just as I saw saving. I have no interest in doing all that work again. Mav, have at it.

Normally, one hits "back", and copies the text from the edit box, and pastes it into a nice text file.

In case this is problematic on Internet Explorer and other notoriously wikipedia-unfriendly browsers, I've just tweaked it so that trying to save a page during lockout in the future will divert to a preview, giving you a chance to copy the text without hitting 'back'.
