Don't think that would happen at Wikipedia. You could certainly try it at Wikitravel, though... perhaps it would be better-accepted if it only popped up for every 3rd bailout? (not per person, but total).

I suspect a lot of the hits on edit pages are due to readers following red links, rather than people clicking the edit tab.
That's a very good point.
About 16% of edit form requests result in a save attempt.
That's the number I was looking for.
I guess there's not an easy way to find out how many people are bailing out of edits that they really want to make... except maybe to ask them. Perhaps a pop-up poll for folks who navigate away from an edit page in some way besides saving? Kind of intrusive but it might have interesting results.
