An example of this would be where an editor removes text from an article. Other users might wrongly think of this as vandalism or a personal attack on the editor who first added that content. However, the edit summary of: (''This is already mentioned on Page X'') or (''This was proved to be false at Page X'') would let other users see why it was removed. | An example of this would be where an editor removes text from an article.

It is best practice to leave an edit summary for ''all'' edits, but this is not a rule or policy. However, edit summaries must be made for controversial edits, or where other users disagree. | |||
