Patch to change the <textarea> to an <input>. Against r45848 (911 bytes, patch)

Description Happy-melon 2009-01-23 17:07:43 UTC
Multiline statements are invalid in edit summaries - the newlines are silently discarded.  As such, it is confusing and entirely unnecessary to use a <textarea> for the reason input in [[Special:MovePage]]; it should be an <input>.
Comment 1 Raimond Spekking 2009-01-23 17:11:41 UTC
See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16921#c3 
Comment 2 Danny B. 2009-01-23 17:15:39 UTC
Other approach: replace \n with space on commit.

Patch to change the <textarea> to an <input>. Against r45848

Hmn.  Attached patch anyway, this is really trivial unless I've missed a glaringly obvious dependency.  I don't really follow Brion's comment about it being a "usability regression": why would we be encouraging long comments (and then silently reformatting them) for moves, but not for other log summaries? There should be consistency here: either *all* summary inputs should be textareas, or they should *all* be inputs.  Having one different gives the impression that the log summary is somehow different, when in fact that is not the case at all; they're treated *exactly* the same, and the same limitations and issues apply.
