I've found a Stack Exchange userscript which looks GREAT - it would make things so much easier for me:

The Edit summary options script

Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all! I'm not sure why.

My question is possibly a bit off topic, but I'm not quite sure where else I could ask. What's wrong with the code in that script? Can anybody fix it? And if not, can anybody make a new stackapp with that same concept?
It would make my life, and probably many other lives, much easier (at least on Stack Overflow)!

  • @BrockAdams I happen to have 2k rep on StackOverflow! I did try the "improved" version in the comments with no luck...

  • Why don't you leave a comment on that post? That person is pretty active on various Stack Exchange sites IIRC.

    @Antony That's a good idea. I hadn't commented because I thought it'd be useless - others have already mentioned the issue to the OP and the OP hasn't fixed it

Okay, went ahead and banged out a script for this; Happy Christmas!

To install, click here (SE Edit Reasoner install at Github).

To preview the source, click here (SE Edit Reasoner preview at Github).

This userscript requires an engine that supports both @require and the various @granted APIs.
It was tested on Firefox + Greasemonkey and Chrome + Tampermonkey.

To-Do's, Issues, etc. (Pending time and interest):

  1. Make a proper post with screenshots and more information (tab order, GitHub cross links, etc.).
  2. Done! Add the options dialog to allow easy customization of the Reasons list.
  3. Possible feature: Add site by site customization of edit reasons.
  4. Possible feature: Add a full-auto Reason filler to facilitate mass retagging, etc.
  5. Possible feature: Add hotkeys for first 9 reasons.
  6. See script source for more possible roadmap notes.
  7. No known bugs on Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey.

  • Awesome. Thank you so much. I'll award the bounty in a couple of hours when the system allows me. As a sidenote, this worked when I put it in with Tampermonkey, but without Tampermonkey, it didn't work.

    Brock, I'm very impressed with this. Way to go! Very clean, easy to use...just perfect all around. It'll be even better with the Settings functionality, but I can just edit the reasons directly in the code if I want to. Thank you again!

    You're welcome. Sorry I didn't get to it before you burned a bounty (Bounties don't normally work here on StackApps). It was on my "Rainy Day fun" list and I'll be using the script myself if I ever do much reviewing again.

  • Awesome. I love the update. Very cool. You should make a thread for this on it's own
