#93 Capture reason or summary of an edit.
Was Feature:90158 on the ISFDB wiki. When an editor submits an edit, sometimes it is obvious what is going on and why, but sometimes it is worth noting what the editor intends by the edit. I suggest that either on the various edit screens, or on the screen that displays the submisison xml, or perhaps on a new confirmation dialog, the editor be allowed to enter an optional short reason for or summary of the edit, which would be visible to the moderator who is considering approving the edit, and would be retained in the edit log, to whatever extent the other edit details are retained. Obviously this is a nice-to-have, not a vital issue. -DES Talk 14:10, 8 Feb 2008 (CST)
