Description James Forrester 2013-05-20 19:30:38 UTC 
On Preview/Diff/Save, the wikitext editor should check for a badtoken event that  says that a previously logged-in user is now logged out, and should warn the user. This would help reduce the number of "OMG I was logged out please OS this edit" requests and generally be nice for users.

WFM?

A failed attempt to reproduce:

1. Go to the editing interface of a page
2. Mid-click (= open in new tab) the "log out" link
3. Do some edits in the editing tab
4. Try to save the page

Now I see my new wikitext echoed back (with preview) due to sessionfailure, with a warning now (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning ). I guess this already sufficiently "warns the user".

Not remotely a duplicate of a bug in an extension.

Then looks INVALID. The API consumer should assert its expectations, as now done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/154245
