When [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Editing|editing]] an article on the ~~TRMN~~ Wiki, there is a small field labeled "Add a summary of your edit" either above or to the right of the main edit-box.

When [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Editing|editing]] an article on the Tenth Fleet Wiki, there is a small field labeled "Add a summary of your edit" either above or to the right of the main edit-box.

The text entered in the summary box, up to 200 characters, will appear in italics on the [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Recent changes|Recent changes]] page and in the page revision history (see below). You should write a short summary of the changes you have introduced into the article. In addition (or alternatively), the summary field could explain ''why'' the change to the article was made, in order to allay the concerns of other contributors (in the case of potentially controversial or confusing edits). Longer explanations should go on the [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Talk pages|talk pages]].

'''Always fill the summary''' is one of the ~~TRMN~~ Wiki's {{mp|Policies and guidelines|guidelines}}. In the day-to-day operations, with many people all making changes at various times, it's better to have some summary of the changes rather than no summary at all. The summary can help people decide whether they should go read all of the changes that were made in your edit, or whether it's not important enough. (This would be in addition to the "[[mediawikiwiki:Help:Editing#Minor edits|minor edit]]" feature.) There are a few [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Automatic edit summaries|automatically generated edit summaries]], but these are only used in special circumstances.
