Flexikon: Edit summary

At the lower end of the text box used to edit an article you will find an extra box named "edit summary" to add a short comment about the changes made. Please type in a short comment about what you have edited for the history of this article.

Good comments will help other users to understand whether this change is interesting to look up, e.g. "typo" for the simple correction of a spelling mistake or "added two paragraphs to describe the actual situation" for a major improvement. Please take care: The edit summary can not be changed later on!

Do not be canny upon adding comments. Even a bad comment is better than none at all.
