{{{icon|[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]}}} Hello. Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>BASEPAGENAME}}|your contributions]] to [[Wikipedia:About|Wikipedia]]. I noticed that {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{1|}}}|your recent edit to [[:{{{1}}}]]|one or more recent edits you made}} did not have an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be [[WP:Consensus#Through editing|explained by a clear edit summary]], or by discussion on the [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]]. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be [[Wikipedia:Edit summary legend/Quick_reference|quite brief]].

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{Edit summary field/OOUI}}

or in the visual editor:
{{Edit summary field/VisualEditor}}

{{strong|Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.}} {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>If temporary account|If you [[WP:ACCOUNT|register an account]] and you are logged in to it|If you are logged in to your account}}, you can give yourself a reminder by setting {{Preferences|Editing|Editor|check={{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}}}, and then click the "{{int:saveprefs}}" button.
