When updating the Summary for issue 7275, I noticed that a "(was: Bad Filter)" appended on the end.

I am writing this to ask whether we need WaysToHelpInstructions/Missing Info/Bonus Instruction 3 anymore?

Nice! You're right, surely we don't need most of that instruction anymore.  Would you please replace the instruction with a much simpler one, or merge instructions 2 and 3?

How should I? I was thinking:

2. You can *add clarifying labels*.  If you learn that the issue only applies to a single browser or OS, add a `Browser-` or `OpSys-` label. You can also update the Summary if it is vague.  For example, you could update an Issue called "Can't get videos right" by changing the Summary to `YouTube videos embedded in Facebook posts don't play properly in Safari`. The issue system should then add a little <font color="gray"_(was: Can't get videos right)_</font> next to the bottom of your new comment, where it details any changes.

Sounds good, but I'd drop the last sentence.
