It's OK for me, in fact it will be easier to read if there are only
useful informations.
I haven't removed anything because I don't know what is better between
keeping all the content to have all the history in the message or to
keep only what is relevant to the answer.
And sometimes I have problems to delete large portion of text.

Yes, that's the solution I though.

In fact I though I could edit the template, because it is the main thing

But I'll check again what pages should be edited to add this level 1
