When editing a section of an article, providing an edit summary now prevents the edit history from showing which section was edited. The section name used to be prepended to the editor-supplied edit summary, as in this edit summary from 2017. If the editor leaves the edit summary blank, the section name is still shown, as in this summary from a few minutes ago.

In Wikipedia, when editing a section, the section name is pre-populated in the edit summary field between C-style comment marks, such as , and an editor can append their summary to this, or remove it to suppress the section name in the edit summary. I don't recall whether this is how the Wookieepedia of 2017 and earlier also handled it. Asithol (talk) 00:41, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

The header of the Table of Contents box for Indara says "cодержание" instead of "contents". Nothing else is in Russian, just that word. I'm using Chrome on Windows. Jarhead002 (talk) 22:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Explicitly adding the section name between /* and */ does also work to include it in the edit summary, as demonstrated by the edit I'm now making. But it should not be incumbent on the editor to remember to do this every time they edit a section; the field should be populated thus by default. Asithol (talk) 00:44, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
