Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can’t edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.

    ‘*Title edited’ small text could be added maybe. And if title is edited after a day or week or month then specify that too.

    Honestly one probably should have ability to edit titles after max two days pass or even one. I can’t think of a good reason you would want to edit a title after a day or two

      Editing titles much later can be useful for example when discussing news or findings that later get disproved, at which point one could edit the title to reflect that so that future readers don’t risk going down the path of trusting it.
