Description Daniel Kinzler 2013-02-22 13:48:22 UTC
Currently, "magic" edit summaries use system message keys that have the form

wikibase-item-summary-wbsetlabel-set
wikibase-item-summary-wbsetlabel-remove

for items, and for properties it would be 

wikibase-property-summary-wbsetlabel-set
wikibase-property-summary-wbsetlabel-remove

This is redundant and makes translation cumbersome and prone to inconsistencies. The same action performed on different kinds of entities doesn't usually need a different message. So for any kind of entity we should just use

wikibase-summary-wbsetlabel-set
wikibase-summary-wbsetlabel-remove


In cases where it does make a difference, the "action" suffix can be used, e.g.:

wikibase-item-summary-wbeditentity-create

could be split into

wikibase-summary-wbeditentity-create-item
wikibase-summary-wbeditentity-create-property

Adam, is this still the case?

This is indeed still the case
