Edit reject reasons: replace "causes harm" with "other"

Question

When reviewing edit suggestions, I often use the custom reject reason. This allows me to give the editor some personalized guidance, so that in their next edit they can do better.

For some reason, this custom reject reason is called "causes harm". I'm not sure why it is given this name, and not something more neutral like "other". Maybe it is an attempt to discourage reviewers from using it, but at least on Stack Overflow the problem is with people who approve too easily, rejecting does not need to be discouraged there.

In fact, I can't think of a way in which an edit causes harm that is not already covered by "spam or vandalism" or "clearly conflicts with the author's intent".

So let's call the custom reject reason "Other".

Answer 1

You have rolled two orthogonal feature-requests into one:

1. first, add a message to the would-be editor to be optionally filled in by the reviewer
2. second, rename 'causes harm' into 'other'.

I'm all for no.1 but against no.2.

Canned rejection reasons are there (IMO) to avoid such fancy stuff: 'I rejected your edit 'cause I left my keys at home'. A mindless edit always causes harm since it diverts our attention and wastes our time.

Do we need a way to convey a bit of the site's rules to the author of the suggestion? Absolutely. Yet we need that for every canned reason, not just for one or two, especially if the would-be editor is on a spree - a word or two of caution may go a long way.
