Edit - Meta Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Whilst not in scope here, it might make sense if a question closed as needs to be fixed by its author would not automatically enter the reopen queue if someone other than the author edits it, since said edit is unlikely to have made the post answerable.

@user1937198 There is already a system for this. If the question was already closed (such that the reopen queue is a consideration), then the person who made the edit was responsible for checking (or not) a box which says that the edit resolves the issue with the question and that it should be considered for reopening (when that box is checked, the question goes to the queue).
