On Stack Exchange sites, edits that are made within 5 minutes of posting a question or answer aren't counted. This is called the *grace period*. For example, if you post a new answer, and edit it after the 5-minute grace period, this is how it'll look like: ![with edited link][1] If you make the edit *within* the grace period, then it'll look like: ![without edited link][2] It'd be great if you can see a countdown timer that starts counting down immediately *after* you post a question or answer. Is there a script that does this? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/5CpsU.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/irfkN.png
