Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Materialscientist (talk) 11:18, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. – Meena11:26, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Script?

edit

Hi there, I am wondering, are you running a script to make edits to certain pages with key words. You are making an incredibly high amount of edits in a short time. If you are running a script be careful, if it runs astray, you will be responsible! Best wishes, Seawolf35 (talk) 10:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
Thanks for your message.
Essentially, I am editing the categories of fictional television characters to state whether they are "British male" or "British female", or "American male" or "American female", etc... in the hope that the categories will be more specific. This is a time-consuming process, and so am using the same Edit Summary to save time.
Is there a way to ensure that this does not come across as though I am running a script? I do not mean to be disruptive and I am aware of the high volume of edits, but I'm just working through each article individually and having to do it that way.
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you in advance. 195.226.50.88 (talk) 13:52, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi there, you are not disruptive and using the same edit summary is completely fine! Please keep going! Consider creating an account, it gives several features in the way of convenience! Such as not triggering CAPTCHA’s anymore. Seawolf35 (talk) 16:48, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).
