I hope this is a temporary bug.This is hyperbole, and unfounded. I get your frustration, but don't malign the team that works tremendously hard to maintain the wiki.The edit summary was: /* Added Section - IOS Files can no longer copy-to Samba share on Archlinux beginning with IOS 14.5 */See the note here, your issue is explicitly addressed: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ArchWiki:Contributing#Always_properly_use_the_edit_summaryOkay: Note: When clicking Edit on a section header, /* Section name */ gets prefilled in the summary field. It is not a comment syntax. The text between /* and */ gets turned in a link to a section of the page. So what is your point? I've edited the wiki hundreds of time and I fill in the edit summary per the directions and it always works -- until now. I fill in an edit summary explaining: "... in a succinct way, what has been done and why ..." And yes, this is frustrating. What is the magic-trick here that was not a magic-trick before?
The “magic-trick” is to append the summary after the section name, so that it makes sense in the history and in people's inboxes. See my edit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Samba#IOS_Files_can_no_longer_copy-to_Samba_share_on_Archlinux_beginning_with_IOS_14.5 -- // jwr
