[development] nice read: usability tests for Wikipedia online

[Anders]

>From section 3.4.3 "Cancel Function":

"While there are prominent buttons to save, preview and view changes of a
page, the option to cancel changes is only an unobtrusive link located next
to the buttons. Even if there were no problems in the test, it is advisable
to provide a more prominent option to cancel changes - simply to provide
unexperienced authors with a clear exit function."

I always wondered why there isn't a cancel button when editing nodes in
Drupal.
