The edit page should be changed to accommodate larger edit summaries: * The text input area needs to be changed fron <inputbox type="text"> to <textarea> Optional: * The textarea should auto-expand when entering a larger summary (JS) * The textarea should have some sort of live-preview of the summary (since it uses a limited subset of wikisyntax) (JS) * The textarea should use autocomplete, most (all) browsers don't have this on for <textarea>
Using a <textarea> for summary will break keyboard workflow: "enter" will no longer work to save.
Disabling "Enter" to save may actually be a benefit, because editors are encouraged to use the 'Show preview' function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Editing#Show_preview http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Uw-preview http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:That%27s_why_we_preview,_kids If this is changed, are there any related database limitations?
