Janesh, are you still running into this on current MediaWiki trunk?

I agree that an "Undo" option would be ideal (we don't need a pre-discard confirm if we offer a friendly "Your draft has been discarded - undo" notification later). This is a low priority enhancement though as we're talking about ephemeral content anyway.

I'm not sure adding an undo button is really possible. Once you hit discard, it's gone. It would be much easier to just add a confirmation button.

Before discarding a draft a JS confirm() dialog is shown these days and I fixed that again in 28f48e343e675fc887ea2fe59025de7ce7d19208 in November 2020, so boldly closing this ticket as FIXED.
