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}}}|&nbsp;}}}}
<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.
