Marco <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|Normal |High --- Comment #14 from Marco <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > There's no point in writing long summaries. If you want it long, > write in the talk page. There is a bot running on Wikimedia Commons which cleans up overcategorization. It is essential to explain every edit in detail. (i.e. what categories are removed and why!) Of course the bot can not create a new talk page for every edit. The length of the edit summary needs to be increased because if two, three or more categories are removed the space is not enough. Link to the Bots contributions: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/OverBot (search for "...)" to find truncated edit summaries) ---- Furthermore there was a discussion on de.wiki about this bug. The result was 100% support (13) and 0% oppose (0). The discussion concluded that in some cases about 512 bytes are necessary to explain a rollback/revert. Quote: "speziell beim Revertieren während des Sichtens muss ich ständig den vorgegebenen Text "Änderung von xxx wurde rückgängig gemacht und ... wiederhergestellt" kürzen, um einem Anfänger höflich und genau mitzuteilen, warum ich seine Änderung verworfen habe" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Umfragen/Technische_W%C3%BCnsche/Versionsgeschichte_%26_Zusammenfassung#4714 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
