A '''summary''' for every edit is expected on 118 Wiki, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit. Accurate summaries help other contributors decide whether they want to review an edit, and to understand the change should they choose to review it.
It is considered good practice to provide a '''summary''' for every edit, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit.

You'll find the edit summary box directly below the editing window, and above the "This is a minor edit" and "watch this page" checkboxes.
