For a start, Sean Pringle needs to comment on bug 4715. In 2010, Domas was very emphatically against it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

A chat between maintainers? A thread in wikitech-l? A formal architecture RfC seems excessive. Even if the implementation is technical, the question is social: do we as MediaWiki / Wikimedia communities want the possibility to post longer edit summaries? Also, the severity says "trivial" but comment #11 says that "the consequences would have to be considered carefully". This request was filed in 2006! Let's kick the discussion to resolve it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4714 Marco changed: What|Removed |Added Priority|Normal |High --- Comment #14 from Marco --- (In reply to comment #3) > There's no point in writing long summaries. If you want it long, > write in the talk page. There is a bot running on Wikimedia Commons which cleans up overcategorization. It is essential to explain every edit in detail. (i.e. what categories are removed and why!) Of course the bot can not create a new talk page for every edit. The length of the edit summary needs to be increased because if two, three or more categories are removed the space is not enough. Link to the Bots contributions: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/OverBot (search for "...)" to find truncated edit summaries) Furthermore there was a discussion on de.wiki about this bug. The result was 100% support (13) and 0% oppose (0). The discussion concluded that in some cases about 512 bytes are necessary to explain a rollback/revert. Quote: "speziell beim Revertieren während des Sichtens muss ich ständig den vorgegebenen Text "Änderung von xxx wurde rückgängig gemacht und ... wiederhergestellt" kürzen, um einem Anfänger höflich und genau mitzuteilen, warum ich seine Änderung verworfen habe" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Umfragen/Technische_W%C3%BCnsche/Versionsgeschichte_%26_Zusammenfassung#4714 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Geralix said about the undo/rollback feature: "En effet, dans ce cas, le texte préformaté dans la boîte de résumé est d'une telle longueur qu'il reste seulement une zone disponible un peu courte pour expliquer les raisons de l'annulation, sauf à utiliser un langage en style télégraphique ou de renvoyer vers la page de discussion de l'article où il faut rédiger un explication plus détaillée.". Translation: "Indeed, in this case, the [prefilled] text in the summary box is so long there is few space to explain the undo rationale, save to use a telegraphic speech or to redirect users to the article talk page where we must write a more comprehensive explanation." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
