Feature summary mobile talk reply should confirm before exiting page
Use case(s) enter a talk page, type a lot in the reply box, click on any link by mistake, have a dialog confirmation before exiting the page.
Benefits it's frustrating to lose a long thoughtful reply because of fat fingers on a tiny mobile screen.
DiscussionTools has a confirmation dialog (which doesn’t work on iOS, but that’s Apple’s fault, not ours) and has auto-saving feature (which should work on iOS as well). Only MobileFrontend’s mobile talk overlay lacks these.
This will work correctly in the upcoming new mobile interface for talk pages using DiscussionTools.
You can try it out today at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Sandbox?dtenable=1, and follow the updates at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project/Mobile.
I think we can close this, like we did with other issues about the current mobile interface for talk pages (T278590).
