More self-evident icon to access the edit message dialog

When I modify an existing post, I find it difficult to locate the commit message entry window. The little “i” icon looks to me as if it should offer a localized help message.

Perhaps this icon could be changed for a “note” icon or even just directly expose the window where you type your commit message.

Treat this as an optional user interface suggestion. TIA.

I propose directly listing which symbols are recommended for use.

I believe it is necessary to add an optional feature of “whether to pop up the edit description window when a user presses the save button for the first time while editing an existing post”. This is because even when only modifying the icon, many users are still likely to overlook it naturally during the seamless saving process, given its location at the top of the editing area. Even in MediaWiki, where the summary is placed between the editing area and the save button, people often forget to fill it in. This is even more true for the Discourse editing window, where the edit description field is positioned at the top of the editing area and is collapsed by default. Furthermore, it would be best if users could freely decide whether to enable this feature.
