Discussion "Description" Needs Better Description

pages.php?title=Help&do=comments&action=talk

The space available for the title and writing text is way too small.
The CKEditor is not available, while discussions need several functions, for example references, links, images, bold, font size. A more advanced editor is very important. BB code needs to work and editor buttons need to be available to aid article discussion.

That field is only for a description, like a forum description or meta description. It is not used as a post.

OK. does that mean that the button will be replaced with something that describes that? Like 'post summary'
Why does the description have a title?
As it looks now it looks like a function to start a discussion thread.
Should I ignore this function for now?

Ideally we will add a lengthier explanation what the box is for. Leaving this open so I don't forget.

The form now calls it "Short Description" which is also labelled "optional", so users know not to put anything long in it. To further drive this point home, the character limit 200 is clearly stated. It also mentions that users will be able to create a full post on the next page.
