Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Cancel button/reply (8)

I agree with SpinningSpark.

There is a Cancel link here, in the wikicode editor. And removing it is a bad idea.

There exist some other ways to cancel an edit, but these do not advertise themselves. The user has to guess them. And the user cannot be expected to guess them. Furthermore, nothing tells the user that just going away from the visual editing would cancel it. There could be draft auto-saving... Like on the Stack Exchange sites. More and more sites have draft auto-saving.

Removing the Cancel link is like removing the Off  button from a hoover and saying that the user can always pull the plug !
