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
