An edit summary is a box available near the "Save changes" button that gives editors an opportunity to describe briefly what their edit is doing. This makes it simpler to review page history and see how a page changes over time. This is '''''strongly desired'''''. While this is not enforced strictly, if problems begin to arise out of an editor making strings of edits without summaries making them difficult to review, administrators may contact the editor and mandate their use. | An edit summary is a box available near the "Save changes" button that gives editors an opportunity to describe briefly what their edit is doing.
