Description

I think that writing editsummaries sucks. I think I can use some simple script to make an accurate prediction most of the time (if I edit a talkpage or a noticeboard I am probably adding or revising a comment). If I am actually doing something interesting I can just not accept the suggestion provided by the script.

For more complicated edits I can ask Claude to describe my edit for me using en:User:Polygnotus/Scripts/AI Editsummary.js

But LLMs are sometimes pretty slow, and I don't want to slow down my editing. So it would be cool if I could add/edit editsummaries AFTER the edit was submitted.
