Wiki update + suddenly offline = frustration

I’d just finished updating a Wiki page, hit save and guess what? My modem had
(been) disconnected. So the target web page is unavailable, and the "back"
button doesn’t work: “page has expired”.

Result: work lost.

I don’t suppose there’s anything anyone can do about this, but I thought I’d
mention it anyway.

If I am doing serious editing, I would cut paste the existing wiki
into my favourite editor and then paste it back to wiki when I’ve
finished editing the page and have run a spell checker on it.

Not to criticise you in any way; I am merely describing what I usually
do.

That’s what I usually do too, but sometimes a small update turns into a big
edit :slight_smile:
