MediaWiki talk:Summary
|
|
I don't know if anyone will spot this, but is this the message used for the word Summary: next to the edit summary line on the edit screen? If so, I gather that some people are put off using a summary because they don't know what it's a summary of, and I therefore suggest changing it to "Edit summary", which would seem to clear that up.
On a side-note, I bet this has already been said, but: It would be really, really useful if there was somewhere a guide to what MediaWiki messages were used where in the software and how, otherwise the whole purpose of making them wiki-editable is somewhat defeated, because you don't know what to edit. Perhaps some nice developer who knew could go through and add a default message at the top of each MediaWiki talk: page (built into the software like the default messages themselves), explaining the purpose of the attached message.

- I'm with you, on both counts. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:15, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Agreed and changed. If anyone changes it back, can they also change Image:Edit Summary-2.png which is a screenshot of the new version and is used on help pages like Wikipedia:Edit summary. Angela. 15:59, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)
The new text is an improvement. Unfortunately I now see the summary box as wider than the edit box, which is not very attractive. Is there any way to fix this? - SimonP 17:14, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)
- You can change the width of the edit box in your preferences. I'm not sure if that's the solution you mean though? Angela. 08:39, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC)
