I would like to propose that we make filling out the
summary field
mandatory on ever edit.
This has been brought up before and rejected, don't bother us again.
Just kidding, to let you know what a warm, fuzzy feeling this kind of
reaction creates :-). It actually was debated earlier either on one of the
mailing lists or policy pages and considered harmful for several reasons.
It's not necessarily a bad idea, but I suggest the following
modifications:
- allow an empty summary line for minor edits
- disallow minor edits for users who are not logged in.
Also, I believe we should keep our policies as consistent as possible over
all Wikipedias. If other Wikipedias don't want it, we should ask why and
try to find a solution they can agree to (or hold a vote ;-).
All best,
Erik
