- It's good practice to always leave a short comment about what work we did in the edit summary (the text entry field just above the Publish changes and Show preview buttons).
- This helps other editors tell at a glance what you have done. Sometimes, without an edit summary, your work may be considered thoughtless or belligerent, and be undone.
- Summaries are also especially useful when reviewing page histories, to see without the need to load and visually parse each diff, what each of possibly thousands of edits changed.
