Special page edit request

Help:Section#Section editing states: Sections can be separately edited by clicking special edit links labeled "[edit source]" by the heading, or by right-clicking on the section heading.

This label was previously just "[edit]" but it was changed to "[edit source]" some months (years?) ago. I've made the relevant change to WP:SECTIONEDIT but have also noticed that the related checkbox in user preferences has not been updated accordingly.

Please change:

{{myprefs|9|Appearance → Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page}}

To:

{{myprefs|9|Appearance → Add an [edit source] link for the lead section of a page}}

Personally, I think the "[edit source]" label is misleading because I tend to associate the word "source" with citations rather than code. But that's probably just me. Regards, Rodney Baggins (talk) 08:21, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

:User:Redrose64 has reverted my edit to Help:Section#Section editing so there is something strange going on. Why am I seeing "[edit source]" at the top of my sections when Redrose is still seeing "[edit]"? Rodney Baggins (talk) 18:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Right-clicking of section headings to edit, no longer works on article title

Up until recently (this week?) the preference: "Enable section editing by right clicking on section titles" also applied to article titles for section-0. Right-clicking article title now just gives a standard browser menu. Has something changed recently? -Bogger (talk) 13:22, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
