one thing that makes life better with existing editor is the fact that when editing a specific section, the section name is automatically added to the edit summary. often, this ends up being the entire edit summary. REQUESTED ACTION 1) when hitting "save", test to see if all the diffs are contained in a single section, and if so, add the section name to the edit summary automatically. 2) just like with existing editor, allow the user to modify or remove this part. i.e., the request is to pre-populate the summary box, not to add section name outside of summary box such that the user can't touch it. peace.

I agree with kipod's comments at bug 50872, this bug is not a duplicate if that one. This would be a very useful feature (if rather resource-intensive).
You're right, this isn't a duplicate; I'm re-opening and titling it to be clearer.
A user at it.wp wonders: if VE could pre-populate the summary box, could it also auto-add the text that was added, in case of very short additions? i.e., if someone added a parameter to a template, could it automatically detect what was added and write it in the edit summary? Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, in theory, but in my opinion, that's a separate bug. Filed as bug 52859.
(Thanks Matthew!)

Isn't this the current behavior (for various meanings of "section editing")?
(In reply to Elitre from comment #8) > Isn't this the current behavior (for various meanings of "section editing")? No. This is asking for VE-MW to insert the name of the section edited if only one section was edited, even if the editor was launched from a page-level link. Doing it when the user clicks a section edit link was bug 50872 and is indeed done. Not doing it when the user clicks a section edit link and then edits outside the link is bug 58488.
