Discussion

• Why? If you discover you only need to edit one section after opening the full page in the editor, then just make your edits to the one section instead of messing around with trying to re-open the editor from the editor and probably losing whatever edits you've already made. If the only reason is the automatic edit summary, it's generally easy enough to copy the section header text in between "/*" and "*/". Anomie (talk) 16:19, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

The survey has a limit of three proposals per person; archiving this one at the proposer's request. -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 21:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
