Insert section name in edit summary

I'm very unsure, if this is the best solution to get the new sections name, any suggestions i overlook?

1. When the title is "== [[section]] ==", the output on desktop is /* section */ while MF now outputs /* [[section]] */

2. When the section title got changed in an edit, desktop uses the original section title while MF uses the new one (if I read your code correctly)

I'm not sure which is better, but at least they're inconsistent.

Can I suggest we do not pre-fill the edit summary and instead auto prepend it programatically?

I worry seeing /* Section History */ in an input box might be off putting to a user not familiar with wiki editing and might lead to them not adding edit summaries... (although I have no evidence to back this up)

Hmm, it's an argument, the other side is, that, if we look at consistency between desktop and mobile edit, a pre filled summary with the section name is an obligation. But i see the possible problem like you :/

Maybe adding section name without show this to user (maybe only, if the user entered a summary)?

Mobile Apps do a slight variation of this. They prepend the section name automatically all the time, even if the user didn't enter any

Ok. The thing to add section name only, if the user enteres a summary is a maybe :) maybe the behavior can be configureable for wiki administrators with a config variable (default to true).

Any opinions? :)

Any progress? I prefer the App solution.
