Edit summaries

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I just wanted to give you some helpful advice about a feature in Wikipedia known as an edit summary. The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summaries are a way to defend your edits, especially if you're an anonymous user. Ambiguous edits made by anonymous users may often be mistaken for vandalism. Filling out the edit summary also gives the users who monitor those pages on watch lists or recent changes, an idea of what kind of activity has taken place. Consult this guide for further help. Thank you.
