When you change a page, there is a small box with the words "'''Change summary'''" under the main change-box. It looks like this: |
|||
<div class="mw-summary" style="background-color:#F0F0F0; border: solid silver 1px; padding:1em 1em 1.5em; {{#switch: |
|||
| center = margin: auto; |
|||
| left = float: left; clear: left; margin: 0.5em 1.4em 0.8em 0; |
|||
| none = |
|||
| right = float: right; clear: right; margin: 0.5em 0 0.8em 1.4em; |
|||
| |
|||
}} {{#if: |font-size: {{{font-size}}};}} |
|||
{{#if: | width: ;}} |
|||
"> |
|||
{{MediaWiki:summary}} |
|||
{{Inputbox|{{#if:|{{{summary}}}| }}}} |
|||
<span style="font-size: 115%">☐</span> {{MediaWiki:minoredit}} <span style="font-size: 115%">☑</span> [[Help:watchlist|{{MediaWiki:watchthis}}]] |
|||
<div style="font-size: 90%">{{MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning}}</div> |
|||
{{Clickable button|{{MediaWiki:Publishchanges}}|format={{#ifeq:no|yes|bold|normal}}|color=blue}} {{Clickable button|[[Help:show preview|{{MediaWiki:showpreview}}]]}} {{Clickable button|[[Help:Diff|{{MediaWiki:showdiff}}]]}} <span style="position:relative; bottom:-2px;">{{font color | #d33 | '''Cancel''' }}</span> |
|||
{{#if: |<div>{{{caption}}}</div>}}</div> |
|||
Whatever you type into this box will show up on the ''[[Special:RecentChanges|New changes]]'' page, in the history of the page, and in the [[meta:MediaWiki User's Guide: Using the Watchlist|watchlists]] of users who are watching the page. You can write up to 200 characters in the Change summary box. |
|||
It is always good to write something in this box. This lets people know what you have changed. You can also say why you changed something. Some people use [[abbreviation]]s (making long words or phrases shorter) in their change summary. There is a list of abbreviations used on the [[:en:Wikipedia:edit summary legend|English Wikipedia's edit summary legend]] page. |
|||
When this box is left blank, the change summary sometimes [[:en:Wikipedia:Automatic edit summary|gets filled in by itself]], for example, it may say "Replaced content with (something)". This makes it very easy for others to see if a change is [[wp:vandalism|vandalism]] and [[wp:rollback|change it back]] at once. |
