An edit summary is a brief explanation of an edit to a wiki page. Summaries help other editors by (a) providing a reason for the edit, (b) saving the time to open up the edit to find out what it's all about, and (c) providing information about the edit on diff pages and lists of changes (such as page histories and watchlists).

For examples, see Help:Editing pages#Edit Summary.
