--- Comment #21 from Praveen Prakash <me.prav...@gmail.com> 2010-03-04 15:12:31 IST --- > Nobody is suggesting anything like 1000 Unicode characters. 200 Unicode > characters -- i.e. the same length Latin-script users get already -- would be > more than enough, but currently scripts that are encoded with multibyte > characters (almost anything non-Latin) don't get anywhere near that much. > Long summaries would make histories and related pages more > difficult to read. Increasing the character count for other scripts doesn't > have that issue. Besides which, anyone writing a mini-essay for a summary > would > be better off summarizing it briefly and putting a detailed explanation on the > discussion page. I've seen a lot of edit warring using the summary field as a > mechanism for argument, and longer summaries would only encourage that. agreed -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
