Bug #: 33943
Summary: Grouping edit history
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Extensions requests
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Some people click "Save page" more often:eg, while copy-editing a Wikipedia
article, one may save the page multiple times for every section.(some times
without an edit summary)
It would be better if all these edits could be combined under one edit with one
edit summary in the history.
Here's a detailed example of copyediting.
7-remove template GOCEinuse [edit summary:copy edit major]
6-edit section 4
5-edit section 3
4-edit section 2
3-edit section 1
2-editing lead section.
1-Adding template GOCEinuse to notify that the article is being copyedited.
Rather than littering the edit history with these seven different edit
histories, it would be better if they can all be collapsed under one entry and
requesting the user for a single edit summary (In this case copy edit major)
Of course the individual edits shouldn't be deleted and a '+' sign should be to
the left of the edit entry which can expand and show the remaining
entries.(some javascript might be needed)
Additionally, the user could be prompted to select(using checkboxes) the
consecutive entries(so program "smartness" isn't essential.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some important MUST DOs if this is implemented.-
(1) Only CONSECUTIVE ENTRIES by the SAME USER(can't have another user entry in
between)can be selected.
(2) Probably should include TIME factor-(can be grouped only if consecutive
entries are within say 24/36 hrs of each other)
