Meaning of "ce"[edit]
Hey Anoop, just a friendly heads up that "ce" in a edit summary generally refers to copyediting; i.e. grammar, spelling, and layout corrections that don't change the content on a page. Several of your recent changes to X (social network) are using that when they're making non-copyedit changes, e.g. replacing excerpt templates with content ([1], [2]) or making changes to article content and sourcing ([3]) is not copyediting and the edit summaries in these cases don't match the actual changes you're making.

- @Dylnuge Ok, I will provide a better description going forward. Also, when replacing an excerpt, should I mention the source version of the article? Anoop Bhatia (talk) 16:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you're copying from directly from the other article, that should be clear in the edit summary for attribution purposes (see WP:ATTREQ), but a better question is why you're replacing excerpt templates with copies of the current article contents to begin with. The point of the excerpt template is to synchronize content that's the same in both places; if you're not going to otherwise change the content, replacing the excerpt with a manual copy of it doesn't improve the article.
