Revision as of 03:00, 28 August 2015
Hello people of Nukapedia. I feel it is my duty to bring this to everyone's attention as this will become a big deal as Fallout 4 is released and I see it already with Fallout Shelter. If you notice when you edit an article, forum or talk page you will notice something on the right. It is called an edit summary. This is there to provide a summary of what you, the editor just did. Back in the day most of us seasoned editors used this box religiously but now I hardly see it used at all. When I get an email saying a page I just edited was re-edited, in the email the edit summary will appear. However if you leave none, I get to stop and see what was done. On a mobile platform, that is not easily done. Also using the edit summary helps new editors learn from mistakes. A simple revert with no explanation of what was wrong will not help them learn. Simple. All I ask is with the coming of the new game, please start using the edit summary boxes. It takes no more that a few seconds to fill out. Thanks and happy editing.--KIngclyde
