Editing overly-long short descriptions

Latest comment: 14 hours ago3 comments3 people in discussion

When submitting something for QI, the template asks to add a "very short description", but every now and then someone writes a description that's 100 words or more, creating a very lengthy entry in the process. Would it be alright for regular Commons users (meaning without special rights, like admins) to trim these down to a more reasonable size? ReneeWrites (talk) 12:35, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good point. Nominators should put at least minimal effort in the descriptions. Not just go with the default, often including "This image was submitted as part of Wiki Loves overly long descriptions, licensed Creative Commons CC-BY SA 4.0 etc pp". Plozessor (talk) 16:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
