789548 - Kuma: Editor - Clicking save without changes should just discard instead

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 560173

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Currently, when the user clicks save or save and continue editing, a save occurs even if there have been no changes. We need to change this to do nothing for save and keep editing, and to simply discard for save. Currently, we're getting empty revisions because people click a save button just to be sure they don't lose anything, and this is confusing for people monitoring content changes.

Not to self:

This is more difficult than it seems at face value; we'll need to check to ensure the following aren't different:

1.  Page content
2.  Tags
3.  Title & slug

May also need to validate "based_on_rev" to ensure it's not a rollback
