| Jul 31, 2021 at 19:43 | comment | added | BDL | @ruakh: Rejecting might or might no send the right signal. But accepting definitely sends the wrong signal. | |
| Jul 31, 2021 at 19:05 | comment | added | ruakh | @BDL: I don't think that rejecting the edit really sends the signal you want it to, either; the editor won't understand why his/her edit was rejected. If this is your goal, then you should push for UI changes that actually achieve that goal. | |
| Jul 31, 2021 at 18:51 | comment | added | BDL | @ruakh: Accepting the edit sends the wrong signal. How else than by rejecting should we tell the editor that such edits shouldn't be done? If you want to stop an editor from doing such edits, we have to make sure that they are not rewarded for them. | |
| Jul 31, 2021 at 18:42 | comment | added | ruakh | @BDL: Sorry, I'm missing something. As I understand it, this question presupposes that we're reviewing an edit on a post that's going to be deleted anyway. The only question is whether we should vote "accept" or "reject". Neither answer affects how many reviewers there are to review edits -- does it? | |
| Jul 31, 2021 at 12:08 | comment | added | 0Valt | FYI, the original post edit is applied on belongs to merits (or shortcomings) of the edit. Blindly applying principles disregarding the context is the worst thing a review could do. And thankfully, we try not to. | |

| Jul 30, 2021 at 20:36 | comment | added | BDL | For practical reasons (already too few reviewers to review edits), reviewing edits on posts that are going to be deleted anyway is harming the site. | |
