Extension:Drafts

This extension adds the ability to save a draft of an article on the server while editing. Users must be logged in to save drafts, as they are tied to their user account. Drafts are always discarded when they are used to save the article they came from.

Saving Drafts
Drafts are always saved when the user clicks preview or view changes, however the following behavior is dependent on whether the client's browser has JavaScript enabled or disabled.

Accessing Drafts
If a draft has been saved the user can access them by
 * Returning to the edit screen for article they saved the draft of, where a list of existing drafts for that user and article will appear at the top of the edit page.
 * Visiting the drafts special page (Special:Drafts) where there is a list of all drafts for that user.

Installing Drafts
> php maintenance/update.php require_once "$IP/extensions/Drafts/Drafts.php";
 * Copy the Drafts folder into your extensions directory.
 * Run the update script on the server
 * Add the following line to the bottom of LocalSettings.php
