+        .. versionchanged:: 1.7
+            :class:`discord.Message` is returned instead of ``None`` if an edit took place.
+
+        Parameters
+        -----------
+        content: Optional[:class:`str`]
+            The new content to replace the message with.
+            Could be ``None`` to remove the content.
+        embed: Optional[:class:`Embed`]
+            The new embed to replace the original with.
+            Could be ``None`` to remove the embed.
+        suppress: :class:`bool`
+            Whether to suppress embeds for the message. This removes
+            all the embeds if set to ``True``. If set to ``False``
+            this brings the embeds back if they were suppressed.
+            Using this parameter requires :attr:`~.Permissions.manage_messages`.
+        delete_after: Optional[:class:`float`]
+            If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background
+            before deleting the message we just edited. If the deletion fails,
+            then it is silently ignored.
+        allowed_mentions: Optional[:class:`~discord.AllowedMentions`]
+            Controls the mentions being processed in this message. If this is
+            passed, then the object is merged with :attr:`~discord.Client.allowed_mentions`.
+            The merging behaviour only overrides attributes that have been explicitly passed
+            to the object, otherwise it uses the attributes set in :attr:`~discord.Client.allowed_mentions`.
+            If no object is passed at all then the defaults given by :attr:`~discord.Client.allowed_mentions`
+            are used instead.
+
+        Raises
+        -------
+        NotFound
+            The message was not found.
+        HTTPException
+            Editing the message failed.
+        Forbidden
+            Tried to suppress a message without permissions or
+            edited a message's content or embed that isn't yours.
+
+        Returns
