Anyway, the proper solution for this problem is
autosaving article drafts.
IIRC the Drafts extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Drafts>
is
basically ready but needs usability improvements, and development has
stalled because when this was found out the Foundation did not have a user
testing team yet; maybe James can tell if any further work is planned on
that. As far as I can see, it would be the lowest hanging fruit by far WRT
editing improvements for non-newbies.
No. The Drafts extension (and any feature that puts hidden content on the
servers) was veto'ed years ago by Legal. We need to stop beating this dead
horse.
