Edit summary
Please do not forget to add a relevant edit summary to every edit you make. Edit summaries exist so you can: provide reason for an edit, help people save time by not having to open up an edit and see why it was made, and it provides info about the edit on diff pages, see H:FIES. It is a useful tool and isn’t for aesthetic purposes, as such should be used properly. I ask you use a useful edit summary explaining the edit to make life easier for others and yourself. Thank you for understanding. Best, Thapy-comechatツ 05:13, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Edit summary purpose
The purpose of edit summaries is outlined at Help:Edit summary. The idea is to indicate the type of edit. Abbreviations are sometimes used: rvv if reverting vandalism; ce if copy editing; typo if fixing spelling. Writing "nes" or "no edit summary" is confusing and unhelpful. Definitely do not do that.
