Topic on 2017 wikitext editor/Feedback

Does this editor allow users to enter summaries at all? There are a couple of prolific users on Commons all of whose edits have no summary besides a tag saying that they were made with this editor. If it is a limitation of the editor, I don't like that but I guess we have to live with it. If it is not, then I would like to know that so I can contact the users in question and ask them to use edit summaries.

Please ping me when responding, I don't maintain a watchlist on this wiki. - Jmabel (talk) 21:07, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Yes, of course it does. Please read the manual, or just try it for yourself. :-)

OK. One of those editors was assuring me it couldn't be done. Since he uses it for all his editing, I thought he might actually be saying something true, but I'm actually glad to know he is not. - Jmabel (talk) 16:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

They may have a gadget or script, or a browser plug-in, that breaks the editor in some way, perhaps without them knowing. If there's a bug at our end we'd definitely want to know!
