Wikipedia:Editing Tags

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In other Wikipedias (such as the Finnish Wikipedia) there are ways of the changing tags on an edit. This is only viewable in a diff at first, but once the page gets the chance to update, it shows in the "view history tab".

This can be seen in the pictures below:

First, you need to select the revision you would like to change the tags of by check the box next to the revision and then clicking the box in the upper right-hand corner which says "Muokkaa valittunujen sivurversioiden merkkauksia" or "Edit select edit summaries"[1]. Our objective is to get the tag "virheellin yhteenveto" or "invalid summary" attached to the edit we made (which had an edit summary that was errorenous).
After clicking on the button you're brought to a place where you can edit your edit summary.
After entering you rationale for adding the tag, "virheellin yhteenveto" or "invalid summary", you are told "operation complete".
You can see the tag that added in the diff of the edit and then some time later after the page updates, in the "view history" tab.

  1. ^ Note: it is possible to edit the tags of another edit summary (at least on the fi.wiki). However, only registered users can edit the tags on a diff. This could be changed on the en.wiki, if needed.
