Suggestion: "Leave site? Changes you made may not be saved."

Question

Sometimes, I'm in the middle of writing a fairly long answer, when my finger slips and hits the reload button, and I have to start over. I can't be the only person that this has happened to. I feel if possible, a way to confirm that you wanted to exit the page you were currently writing something on would be nice, just in case.

that's more of a computer thing rather than an actual website thing a lot of the time

This happens to me all the time.  I would like this feature.

If Pokemater decides to add this, it probably won’t happen for a while. What you could do instead is copy the answer after you write a few sentences, then paste it back if you leave or reload the page.

Does this count as a duplicate suggestion? https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/59186

This used to happen to me sometimes, but my work was still there after reloading for some reason.

sumwun, i think it does but i don't think it matters since old suggestions probably don't get looked at

---

Yes, that was four years ago. Perhaps a newer suggestion is needed.

It would also be nice if we can save as drafts so we can continue it later or the aforementioned problem of possibly losing a long one by accident.

Also a good idea, Gekky.
