==Why aren't some edit summaries listed?==
Some edit summaries are automatically generated like the ones above; however, they do not have a left-pointing arrow and they are not listed. These edit summaries include the "Undo" and "Rollback" functions, which automatically fill the edit summary field. "Undo" is not listed as the user has the opportunity to modify the edit summary before saving. "Rollback" is not listed as the above summaries can typically be modified or bypassed by the user, and rollback does not provide this option. Rollback also predates automatic edit summaries in the MediaWiki software and thus is ambiguous — see [[wikipedia:MediaWiki talk:Revertpage#AES]].
