[Wikide-l] [Fwd: Re: [Wikipedia-l] Make summaries mandatory]

[Kurt Jansson]

The Cunctator schlug auf wikipedia-l vor, einen Eintrag im Feld 
"Zusammenfassung" für nicht als "klein" markierte Anderungen obligatorisch zu 
machen. Alphax hat per JavaScript einen Warnhinweis für solche Fälle gebastelt. 
Ich finde wir sollten das mal testweise ausprobieren.

The monobook.js file I'm using (derived from [[User:ABCD/monobook.js]]
and [[User:Lupo/monobook.js]] has a Javascript alert for when the Edit
Summary is left blank (or doesn't change for section editing).
