            Bug ID: 69168
           Summary: De emphasize pre selected edit summaries
           Product: Wikipedia App
           Version: Stable
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

I'd like to suggest that the preloaded edit summaries be removed or
de-emphasized. I'm talking about the screen that comes up on the app after you
have made an edit, but before saving, that asks "How did you improve this
article?", with four options: Fixed typo, Fixed grammar, Added links, and
Other. Since this feature was added, the "Fixed typo" edit summary has
predictably become very popular - it is the first and most prominent option,
and it's not obvious that skipping the edit summary is possible - but almost
never accurate. As a patroller, I would rather see no edit summary at all than
a false one; false edit summaries, until recently, usually indicated to me that
a user was purposefully trying to evade detection.
