Examples of common edit summaries include "Fixed a typo" or "Added a new <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Section" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Section">section</a>". Using edit summaries helps other users understand your edits without having to dig into the details. It's optional but super helpful for keeping everyone on the same page.

Even a brief summary is better than leaving it blank. If you remove text, a summary is especially important to clarify your reasons and prevent misunderstandings. If you're making multiple changes, mention them all, or use "and misc." to cover additional changes.</li> <li><b>Purpose of accurate summaries</b> - Summaries help others quickly understand the nature of your changes and decide if they want to review them. This is particularly useful for contributors with relevant expertise who might be drawn to detailed summaries. For minor edits, a brief note like "fixed spelling" is still valuable.</li> <li><b>Explain your changes</b> - Along with summarizing the changes, include an explanation if necessary. This is especially important if your edit involves deletions or significant modifications. For detailed explanations, use the Talk page and note "see Talk" in the summary.</li> <li><b>Edit summary limitations</b> - Once you save the page, you cannot edit the summary. Ensure it's accurate and free of spelling errors before saving.</li> <li><b>Correcting summary errors</b> - If you spot a mistake or omission in your summary after saving, make a <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Dummy_edit" title="Special:MyLanguage/Help:Dummy edit">dummy edit</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Help:Dummy_edit" title="Help:Dummy edit"> </a></span> to the page to correct it, updating the summary field with the needed information.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Action_summary" data-mw-thread-id="h-Action_summary"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Action_summary"></span>Action summary<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Action_summary"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Action_summary","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>When you perform protection or move actions on a page, these actions are recorded in the page history.
