![]() | This page in a nutshell: If you can't - or are unwilling to - explain why you're reverting an edit, it's best not to revert it. |
Avoid reverting without an edit summary saying why you are reverting.
If someone reverts without explanation, you can WP:Obvert the edit, and cite this essay as a justification.
