Wanted to follow up as this continues to be a minor annoyance. Very much seems like system edits should not show the edit indicator (pencil icon). Particularly when disable system edit notifications
is enabled, but perhaps even as a general case regardless of that setting.
We’re finding it jarring to see that orange “edited” icon when there’s zero actual content change, just a behind the scenes URL rewrite.
(Also, not sure how to see how often this occurs, as these system edits don’t seem to add a Staff Actions > ‘post edit’ log item, unless I’m missing something!)
Discourse team, any thoughts, do you support the suggested change here?
