Hi.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13937 is a feature request to add the ability for users to be able to edit their own edit summaries within a limited window of time following submission, assuming there are no subsequent edits to the page.
This seems like it wouldn't be very difficult to implement in an extension. Is that the correct approach here? Or does anyone feel it should be in core?
In either place, it'd be a special page, I suppose? Or maybe some inline AJAX thing could be implemented for the &action=history view....
And regardless of where it goes, this doesn't need its own logging, right?

This should be a pretty simple extension to write. I poked at it one afternoon about a year or two ago, but didn't get far enough to commit anything.

Special page would be easiest. AJAXy stuff would be more user friendly.
I'd +1 either implementation though, it'd be a nice thing to have--can't tell you how many times I've gone "oh crap" because I pasted the wrong summary or made a stupid typo.

I feel it should have it's own logging, Since this could be abused (eg: Harrsement other community members), We would probably want to delay email notifs as well if we had this feature so they got sent with "correct" edit summary.

While at it, make a feature to do the same with the edits :D
