Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Nominate a redirect named "Foo" at RfD using Page Curation

What happens?: The edit adding the RfD nomination to the daily log page has no edit summary.

What should have happened instead?: The edit adding the RfD nomination to the daily log page has an edit summary that says Adding [[Foo]].

Twinkle uses the edit summary Adding [[xyz]]., so +1 to the idea of this.

While I don't disagree with the direction, I'm a bit confused about the current patch being merged in its current :( Shouldn't we be i18n-ing that string ?

Most of the strings here are not i18n (see line 56 of the same file). We can create a new ticket to address all of the strings that need to be converted to i18n and follow-up.

As far as I can tell this hasn't happened yet. Can be QAd by checking https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARedirects+for+discussion%2FLog%2F2026+February+6&date-range-to=&tagfilter=pagetriage&action=history and adjusting the page title.

Looks good.
