===Neutral===

#'''Eh.''' Edit summaries are to be encouraged, definitely, but the response to someone forgetting to use one shouldn't be anything more than a "hey, you probably should use these". It wouldn't hurt as a guideline, but I'm not convinced it's specifically needed either. Either way, this isn't anything worth trying to strictly enforce.

#  '''Neutral.''' I personally feel that [[Help:Edit summary]] is sufficient and pretty much covers everything you need to know when adding edit summaries. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">PK SMAAAASH!!</span>]]</b> 16:55, 27 November 2015 (EST)

# '''Neutral'''. I think that while there is the [[Help:Edit summary]] page, upon further comparison and analyzation of the content there and what is proposed here, I think that perhaps it is not as sufficient as it could be. Couple this with how that page is a Help page, which provides little reason for users to read it due to the oh so simple nature of writing Summaries in general. Policies and Guidelines do provide more reason for reading, as they are enforcement and strong suggestions, correspondingly. I know that content written in summaries, as well as the lack thereof, has been the spawn of some issues here, many of them being my fault, and perhaps if one or both of my eyes had caught a Guideline written about Summaries at the very bottom of the page, those could have been avoided, or perhaps not. Or, I could have just chosen to be wiser and more effective in communicating what I had changed in the pages I edited. Either way, and regardless of my personal and feelings and speculative thoughts, this a very minor thing to be dealing with, and people are responsible for how they write, fail to write, or respond to Edit Summaries. Therefore, this doesn't seem to be especially necessary. I would be '''mildly fine''' with it either being a '''Guideline''' or not existing at all, but definitely ''not'' a policy.

===Comments===

:Sensible, not especially strong, but sensible. This is a case of someone not paying attention to an edit summary? I mean, it's pretty straightforward, it's right there in your face if you're gonna undo something. Unless I'm missing something here...

::Please understand that as it stands now, I cannot pass this as a policy. There simply isn't enough support. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 22:52, 28 November 2015 (EST)

How about merging these two pages?
