At the moment changes made to Wiki articles are only Saved when you submit your changes. I have had times when I accidentally click outside the editor and then press backspace to delete the last text I entered, only to have the browser take me back a page, and I lose all the changes. It would be great if the Wiki Editor auto saved your changes as you entered them (say every minute or so). This would result in Wiki articles having a draft and a published version. So that you could save changes to the draft, and then publish them once you have completed all your changes.

Obviously with this, you would want to lock an article if someone is already working on a new version, and providing access controls so that some users can override this lock and edit the new version, or start a new version completely.
