When replying to a thread, an auto-summary feature has been added that fills in the edit summary with something like "Reply to [[Thread:Talk:Main Page/second post!|second post!]]"
However, the summary field does not fill itself in until (a) the post is previewed; (b) "Show changes" is used; or (c) a blank summary is submitted. It should auto-fill as soon as the "add a reply" link is clicked.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
This will soon be obsolete because the summary field will not be displayed. This will occur when Wikimedia software is updated to the latest version.
[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html . Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest". For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]

The message summary is not displayed, and if you reply an auto summary is saved with the post You can check by selecting 'More' on a post then 'History'.
Closing as WORKSFORME.
