== Edit summaries == An edit summary is the text box that appears before an editor confirms their desired edits to go live. They should be used to give a ''general idea'' as to what the edit is doing. Whether it's adding content, fixing a link or some other error, and things of that nature. Chronically not having edit summaries may lead to intervention from administrators - especially if the editor is asked to use them and they do not. Edits can also be marked as "minor" by using a checkbox. It isn't particularly useful or required, but the ''idea'' is to tick the box for edits which do not remove content, add content, or change the ''substance'' of content.
