A userscript that will detect if you are about to submit a draft, and nullifies the "no edit summary" reminder so you won't be stuck tripping the same edit filter and reminder over and over.

When submitting a draft, just click "OK" and wait for the page to reload. If you see a message in the top right appear, try submitting (Publish changes).

Installation instructions

Hint: It's much easier if you get ScriptInstaller, then navigate to User:ToxiBoi/SummaryBrute.js and click "Install" at the top.

However, here's the manual method:

  1. Place {{ subst:iusc|User:ToxiBoi/SummaryBrute.js}} on Special:MyPage/common.js or a skin-specific page, like Special:MyPage/vector.js.
  2. Clear your cache and enjoy!

Configurations

Parameters can be passed by adding window.ToxiSummaryBrute.short-name = value to your common/ skin.js pages.

Parameters
Short-name Values (bold = default) Description
BypassDialog true, false If this is set to true, SummaryBrute will instantly run instead of asking you first. Disabling the script overrides this parameter.

Disabling for One Page

To disable SummaryBrute for one draft, either click Cancel when the prompt appears or append &toxiran=1 to the URL.

Alternatively...

Doing any of the following has the same effect:

  • Entering the "Subject/Headline" field
  • Appending "&summary=<something>" to the URL
