MediaWiki talk:Missingsummary
 | If the appropriate preference is set, MediaWiki:Missingsummary is shown to users if attempting to save an edit without an edit summary or the default undo summary.

The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators and interface editors.

Improved text[edit]
A proposal was made at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) to change the text to something more like this:
 | Reminder: You have not provided an edit summary. Edit summaries help other users understand the intention of your edits. Please enter one before you click Save again, or your edit will be saved without one. |
The rationale is that this is more helpful to a newbie editor, and sounds more friendly than the current text, which may come across as annoying. Please discuss this proposal at Wikipedia:MediaWiki messages#Proposed change for MediaWiki:Missingsummary. --Lambiam 21:48, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
