This task is about an issue where a comment someone had drafted using the Reply Tool was lost when they attempted to publish said comment to a page/conversation that was "closed" in the time between they started drafted said comment and when they clicked the `Reply` button.
//[@ProcrastinatingReader](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%3AProcrastinatingReader) reported this issue at en.wiki here: https://w.wiki/mzx. //
=== Behavior
1. Open the Reply Tool and start drafting a comment with it
2. Using a different account, "close" the section in which the comment you were replying to in step "1." belongs, using a template like [Template:Archive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Archive_top)
3. Switch back to the account you were using in step "1."
4. Click the "Reply" button to post the comment you drafted in step "1."
**Actual**
5. The page refreshes and the comment you drafted in step "1." and attempted to publish in step "4." is lost. //See: [diff=989736218](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=989736218&diffmode=source).
**Expected**
6. **TBD: should people be presented with a warning upon clicking the "Reply" button that prevents them from saving? Is it possible to post the drafted comment //within// the now-closed conversation? Something else?**
=== Open questions
- [ ] What should happen when someone attempts to post a comment in a section that is closed in the time between they started drafting their comment and when they click the Tool's `Reply` button? //See: "Step 6." in `===Behavior` above.//
=== Done
- [ ] "Expected" behavior is implemented
