Bug 50527 proposes that the edit go through, WITHOUT warning the editor of his/her mistake; instead, the edit summary gets a tag showing that a problem exists with the *completed* edit. Given that the software can detect this error, it makes more sense to give the editor who made the mistake a chance to fix it *before* the edit is completed - ideally, not to allow the edit to be completed with the error intact within in. That way, (a) the editor is more likely not to make the mistake again, and (b) if the editor who made the mistake fixes it before finalizing his/her edit, there is no need for a second (corrective) edit (and no need for someone to be monitoring recent changes for the tag proposed in bug 50527). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
