Summary: Option to require comment for non-editing actions
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
It would be nice if an (sitewide) option could be set in MediaWiki that would
reject attempts to carry out non-editing actions such as block, delete, protect
and move without filling in the "comment" field, instead returning an error
message with a friendly reminder that not filling this in is a PITA for the
rest of us mere mortals.
Too often I've seen an innocuous-looking page title which on attempted creation
presents the message "The page title you have tried to create has been
protected from creation. The reason given is."; too often I've seen pages
deleted with no explanation provided and have to find and ask someeone to send
me the deleted text just so that I can see why it was deleted. Similar problems
exist for other actions. Asking nicely unfortunately doesn't seem to work.
