Hi,There seems to be an issue with the extension: It seems when I saved a
draft after editing a section, the draft was considered a draft of the
corresponding section number (it was mentioned as "Article#Section name" in
the list of drafts). If the given section was removed, clicking on this

I thought the rationale was to allow people to migrate browsers.
Still, choosing the kind of draft-savi
Vry bad idea. I can already see enwiki having

Is this a design decision, or just to simplify implementation? You
could use a cookie or something, but if you did that you'd have to
make sure Squid doesn't
It seems to me that the Drafts extension provides a neat feature with
the potential to save data from being lost by accident in many cases. It

No, the sig is just part of user_options, which is a BLOB. However,

Yes, at least MySQL forces us to AFAIR.
