I just made an edit to a question I asked. Quite often I don't write summaries, but this time I felt that I should have added some explanation to the edit.  Is there a way to add a summary afterwards? I know that I can do a rollback and a new edit and such things, but I don't think the summary is worth polluting the edit history. I simply want to add a summary to an existing edit.

It often occurs to me to add an edit summary to a question-edit immediately after submitting the edit, especially if the changes aren't obvious (formatting etc.). So I:   Click "edit" again. Fill in the summary Click on "Save Edits".   The 'edit' (no actual change has been made to the title/body/tags)  is accepted, but the summary doesn't show up, i.e. it is silently rejected.   I don't think it should work this way because the summary has been added by the original editor within the original edit's edit-window. In fact if I remember correctly, it to used to work as expected earlier; so perhaps this is a recent change.

How was an anonymous user able to suggest ? (Warning: it has an offensive edit summary, which has been edited out in the screenshot below.) It doesn't seem to change anything, not even when viewing the Markdown source:    IIRC, if you suggest an edit and then immediately edit it again, but if the new edit doesn't meet the 6 character minimum it won't be accepted by the system. I just tried (while logged out) to retag this question and undo that in the grace period, but I get a message , as it should.

I recently posted a question that quite promptly got a number of decent answers. One of those answers led me to a closely related but slightly different question. What's the best way to bring up that additional question? I could..   ask the new question in an "answer" to my original question (this is what I did, but it's kind of colder and, I suspect, less likely to be seen by people), edit my original question to include the second one, or post a new question.   Any thoughts?

There are numerous posts on meta about editing questions with    Thank you. Thanks in advance Thank you, Sean Please help me!! im such a noob sorry for takin ur time   and many of them seem to conflict each other.  In my opinion, these edits are not too minor, even if that is the only thing wrong with the post. We shouldn't have a conditional policy "If there's nothing else worth editing, it's better to leave it alone" because then it sets an example to new users that it is OK to add such lines to their posts, and propagates confusion about what edits to allow and reject. I do agree if the post needs help in other areas, then simply removing "thanks" is too minor.  There seems to be a lot of confusion about whether these edits are acceptable, because I am continually rejected when making such edits. Of course, I edit the rest of the post if it needs it, but if the post is otherwise acceptable in its current form, then that is the only edit I make.  There needs to be some concrete and clear answer as to when these edits are acceptable.   See also:   My conflicting and confused experiences:           Note also: There are even scripts implemented to get rid of this garbage, but they are not perfect, and editors should be able to finish the job.

When reviewing the First Posts (and Late Answers) review queue, after you suggest an edit, you're back in the review queue and the I'm Done button is activated. So far, so good, but when I realize I want to edit something else as well (I often forget the tags), I can click the 'edit' link again. When I'm done improving my suggested edit, I'm suddenly outside the review queue.    This does not happen if you have enough reputation (2k) to edit posts straight away; then you always stay in the review queue.

When editing an answer, the &quot;new revision&quot; message is shown for a short moment. This makes no sense because the revision you just created is automatically displayed anyway.

Surprisingly, I couldn't find a straight answer to this.  It's not entirely clear in the .  There are (at least?) four different types of edit actions:   Body edits Title edits Retags Rollbacks   And a few actions that show up in the history but aren't really "edits":   Close/Reopen Delete/Undelete   The FAQ seems to indicate that only body edits are important as far as "wikification" is concerned, but I'm not sure if that's really correct or if I'm just interpreting the post too literally.  The FAQ also says that rollbacks don't reverse the calculations - fine, but are they considered to be additional edits or are they ignored?  Can anyone tell me which of these actually count toward the wikification of a post, and whether the rules are any different for owner edits vs. multiple editors?

You normally answer a question and you have the opportunity to answer again. The second time, a message is shown suggesting the use of the edit tool, but I think it's kind of wrong. I mean, if you answer something and then you want to say anything else you know that you must use edit.  Why not disable the answer button if you already have an answer?

EDIT:  It seems that I've also had edits that stacked well, so I'm not sure if I had a timing problem, or was just delusional.  The one thing that can be fixed, that I'll turn this question into, is a feature request so that when I go to re-edit (either within the 5-minute grace period, or before a suggested edit is approved), it brings up the old edit summary text.  Right now, it brings up a blank edit summary, and this replaced the first one I did.  This isn't really intuitive, and even knowing that's what it's doing, I still forget to put everything in.  Original Question:  It has happened a few times now, when on a site where I don't have edit privileges, that I make an edit.  I then see that the edit didn't work quite right, so I go back in to re-edit it.  This creates a brand new edit review, with an additional useless summary. How about we have the same grace period to re-edit your up-for-review edit, as there is for a normal edit? Of course, it wouldn't be possible once it's been approved.

I am using a Mac machine.  I asked a question, and then, someone answered it.    I clicked "Edit" to add a comment, and I would like to press Enter to go to a new line, but doing so submitted my comment and ended the edit instead.

Someone commented on my answer and I just replied to that in a comment. The I immediately edited the comment by selecting it and then pressing edit on action bar.  The edit didn't show up, even after doing a pull to refresh on the question, it was showing the comment in its original form.  It only showed up once I reopened the question from the right drawer (notifications).  The apps says 1.0.60 in about.

I find revisions a really useful way to see full edit history of every post in Stack Exchange.  Can we please have it on the iOS app too? It will also let us see original time of the post submission which is missing, currently showing only last edit time.

I suggest a preview on the mobile page. For questions, answers and edits to both, like on the desktop page.  I messed up formatting often enough to be annoyed that there is no preview on the mobile page and I'm surprised that noone suggested it before (at least I didn't find anything).  If it's too performance heavy to have a live preview update after every change in the text box, there could be a preview button next to the save button which leads to a page with only the preview, a back button and a save button (and the title bar and so on).

I would like to update  to add some new information. (I realized that when "walking the clustered index" of a table that has a multi-column clustered index, in most cases a great simplification can be achieved by using WITH TIES in the update statement to enable working only with the first column of the clustered index. I'd also like to change a couple of other minor things.)  However, if I make this update, I'll hit 10 updates, and the answer will get converted to community wiki. I hate asking moderators to remove community wiki status--it seems like a waste of their time. At the same time, it bugs me that my answer is not as good as it could be! And yes, it bugs me to lose the reputation if it goes community wiki.  Note that I am doing my best to make more substantial edits and fewer trivial ones, so I don't run into this limit as often. But it does happen sometimes. You can look at the answer history to see if you think that my 8 edits were excessive or not.  Should I:   Avoid making the edit, Make the edit in pursuit of having the best answer and just take my lumps so I don't inconvenience moderators, Or make the edit and flag for a moderator as it's not that big a deal for them?

I just had an occasion where someone reformatted the code in my question, not because it was ill-formatted, but to match his preferred style. I would have liked to be able to type a reason for rolling back the edits when I did so - could the ability to do that be added?

I just attempted to fix a typo on a question on cooking.stackexchange.com and saw this     Oops! Your edit couldn't be submitted because:         Your edit summary must be at least 10 characters   This edit is less than 6 characters; surely more can be improved with your edit?      So, misspelled words have to just be left misspelled?  That could prevent the post from being found in a search.

Basically this suggestion for the Android app:   Many times I'll see that a post has been edited on the Android app. I'll want to see exactly what was edited, and the Android app doesn't show this. Can the revision history be added to the Android app?
