Editing overly-long short descriptions

[edit]

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]
