I think it's simply a loss of your reservation after a timeout.
Wikipedia does the same.
When you start editing a page, you get rights to it for a short time
(maybe 5 min?). After that, it's up for grabs. When you repeat your
save, it goes through (parhaps after a check for conflict).

you can.
Then if you lose the edits on reloading, you should be able go to the original
page, edit and paste in your saved edits to continue on.
I have seen this as well, although not very often and I put it down to an
interruption to my internet that might not be noticed by me on my browser,
but was enough to disrupt the editing process within the wiki.

It does not seem to be a timeout. Or, if that message does represent a
timeout, there are also other issues which can trigger the problem:
Sometimes simply reloading the page has been sufficient to make the
message go away.
I hope this helps,

Now and then, after many minutes of making editing changes to a Wiki page, a
Save request is greeted by:
Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data.
You might have been logged out. . . .
Is this a timeout in the editor, and can it be lengthened?
Is this instead a result of temporary loss of communication, which does occur
occasionally, but doesn't often have a visual effect during an editing session?
I have sometimes managed to copy the edited page and reinstate it later, but
wonder if there is standard recovery procedure.
Thanks.
