    Hey Localizers, This is Safwan, A localizer, developer contributor of this site. Currently focusing on developing the site so that the localization as well as other tools are more helpful to the contributors as well as users.

    Recently, a long waiting Bug 619284 has been fixed. From my local community, I had got to know about the necessity to implement this feature so i have started working on implementing the feature. I really hope that, the feature is very important for the localizers and improve the localization tool very much.

    You may already noticed, a Save as Draft button has been added beside the Submit button. draft_button If you click on the button, the content you have written will be saved to the server. So whenever next time you back to the page, you will see a message asking you to restore or discard the content. if you press on Restore, it will restore the content restore_draft and if you press discard, it will do accordingly.

    As we try our best to give the best experience to the contributors, sometime we also do need feedback about the work we have done so that we can also improve the feature. So I will be glad if any improvement can be done to the draft revision feature. So please let me know about it.


    Eagerly waiting for your response Safwan

    Hi Safwan.

    That's a great feature, already tested and works just great. As a next step, I am only missing some indication, that any other localizer is already working on a particular article (saved draft for it) or a list of articles I have saved a draft myself, so if I start working on an article and couldn't remember in the morning, which one it was.

    I just wanted to take a minute to thank Safwan for creating a feature that many contributors have been asking for.

    It works like a charm and I am sure Safwan has more great ideas waiting for implementation.

    Thank you, although I don’t use it myself since I never rely on drafts saved on any server and tend to localize either fully or not, using drafts saved locally if they exist. Not to call the feature useless though - I understand some people need it.

    Nevertheless, would it be possible to implement an option to switch off the button, e.g. in the user profile?

    You can use userContent.css or Stylish to hide that button. 

    @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document
  regexp('https://support\.mozilla\.org/.*/edit')
{
  button.btn-draft {
    display: none !important;
  }
}

    Thank you, but I’d rather see this as a profile option and avoid the use of (any) css scripts.

    I think this would be a overkill things. You can just skip the button.

    Hi Safwan

    Thank you very much for this feature! I agree with Michael Stanke, that it would be great to be able to see if anyone else have saved a draft. Otherwise they may not realize that someone is already working on the article.

    +1, this is much needed. Also, the draft should be deleted after a revision is submitted. Otherwise it confuses you when you start editing the article next time. Thank you for the feature!
