message: I see the link goes to a page in the same window. This could be bad for a user who has made a large edit, clicks the link, and loses all the work. If some admin adds "target="_blank"" to the link, it opens in a new window. This could save work for people wondering what an edit summary is. Soxred93  talk bot 00:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Hmm, someone edited withoiut checking? Now it's visible in html tags like:
Content that violates any copyright will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the GFDL*.
<a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_summary" class='internal' title="Briefly describe the changes you have made" target="_blank">Edit summary</a> (Briefly describe the changes you have made)
And by the way the last sentence seems to be force justified for quite a time now, which means 20-30 spaces between words, pretty ugly. --grin ✎ 09:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Would Edit summary ever show the number of added or removed characters on an edit page during an edit?  During a Show changes?
The number of characters in a section, an article, or changed in an edit is available after the fact.  Could it be during?
While making copy edits, the number of characters should probably stay about the same (or less if more lucid). I can think of other reasons for it too. —CpiralCpiral 01:54, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Please add an id to the span to allow summary gadgets hooks, like :fr:Aide:Résumé_Deluxe (source code). Something like
 
would be great. The RedBurn (ϕ) 23:49, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree with DJ, I do not see a reason for this change. The below gets you access to this from the root span using span#wpSummaryLabel: 
	<label for="wpSummary">
		
			<a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_summary" title="Help:Edit summary">Edit summary</a>
			(Briefly describe your changes)
		
	</label>

replies: text: It's for the Visual Editor, I didn't notice it was the same message for both. With the Visual Editor, there is no wpSummaryLabel span, just a div with no id. The RedBurn (ϕ) 19:40, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
