Hi Léa,
Sorry, my question was not very clear. Let us take the example of
creating a new statement on an item. This can be done with wbeditentity
but also with other actions such as wbcreateclaim or wbsetclaim.
Is there any plan to reuse the summaries of these latter actions when
creating a single claim via wbeditentity, rather than the current
uninformative one?
Broadly speaking, this is something that could be done for all wb*
actions whose result can also be achieved via wbeditentity. This does
not even require designing new summary messages (as they already exist,
they are just not used by wbeditentity yet as far as I am aware).
This would allow clients such as Wikidata-Toolkit to always use
wbeditentity, no matter what sort of edit they are doing, and still get
informative edit summaries.
Currently, Wikidata-Toolkit has a fairly complicated logic [1] to choose
which API action to use depending on the sort of edit. It would
intuitively make sense to push that logic in Wikibase itself, so that it
could benefit others.
Cheers,
Antonin
[1] :
In the near future, we will have different edit
summaries depending on
how many actions are made through the API.
# If 5 or less terms (item, description or alias) are changed, we will
display the expanded version: <Added/Changed/Removed> [<language code>]
<label/description/alias>: <new label/description contents>
# Does that answer your question or did you mean something else? :)
# Cheers,
# Léa

This is great news! Thank you so much for working on this!
It must be hard to figure out how to generate summaries for a wide range
of edit shapes, but it is definitely useful.
I cannot tell from the Phab ticket whether you considered to reuse
existing summaries from atomic actions (such as addition of a single
description) when the edit was made through wbeditentity?
For instance, as an API user it would be great if I could always use
wbeditentity regardless of the change I am making, and Wikibase would
automatically use a more granular edit summary if possible.
Best,
Antonin

Hello all,
We are about to make some changes to edit summaries that appear
when an
edit is made using wbeditentity API, which
includes for example
editing
terms (labels, descriptions, aliases) from the
new mobile termbox. The
summary messages currently contain “Changed an Item” as a comment. The
new summaries will include the message "/Changed label, description
and/or aliases in # languages/", where # is the count of distinct
languages that terms in them have been affected.
This change will be deployed on Wednesday, October 2nd, and the
new edit
summaries will start changing from that point.
The old edit summaries
will not be changed. More improvements will follow in the future (for
example, more details regarding the terms that have been changed
and the
languages).
You can see more details in this ticket

issues, please let me know. Thanks,
