**Mass edits are several edits of the same or a similar quality often performed when a new template is created, a section that is on several pages has been decided to be removed or added to, when a new category is created, or several other similar situations. Often when a user is completing such edits, they wish to get it done as quickly as possible and edit summaries become tedious to write as a result. In order to save time, it is suggested that a single edit summary is made with the first edit that explains what the edit is and adds that the next few edits are of a similar type. This allows other users to know what is going on, while allowing the editor to quickly finish the job. | **Mass edits are several edits of the same or a similar quality often performed when a new template is created, a section that is on several pages has been decided to be removed or added to, when a new category is created, or several other similar situations.
