Discussion Rule Word Salad

[FinePoint]

This should be very simple.

The current rule about summaries as written in the Discussion Rules is this:

The opening post of a content revision thread has to include a clear summary in the opening post what major changes are being made so that everyone involved in the discussion will be on the same page.

There's needless repetition and I'm also not sure it's even grammatically correct.

I propose it be changed to this:

The opening post of a content revision thread has to include a clear summary of what major changes are being made so that everyone involved in the discussion will be on the same page.

seems okay

I was just reading the Discussion Rules page so that's funny timing

 

[Planck69]

Looks fine.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Sure

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks good to me.

 

[Random-Helper323]

This seems better.

ngl, i feel this mean we only need to list major changes, and can ignore minor changes. Should we list every changes in a CRT?

I think that this is perfectly fine.

Good point.

 

[Random-Helper323]

Yes, I'd say remove the word "major" from that.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. Agreed.

Well I think the reason is that some revisions are complete overhauls of profiles, and it may be excessive to list, for example, every single grammatical change in a summary.

Though if the changes themselves can be summarized, like, 'various grammatical changes', then I suppose that works.
