Topic on Talk:XTools

Hello. Is it possible to somehow determine exactly which edits XTools is detecting as missing an edit summary? I'm meticulous about leaving at least some kind of edit summary on every edit (or virtually every edit it seems), so it's a mystery to me how I managed to make three edits in July without leaving one. I suspect maybe it's some semi-auto edit like a talk page associated with a page move or something where a standard edit summary would be either redundant or impossible. Just curious as to what it might be.

Hey never mind. I should have searched myself more thoroughly. I found two of them. In the most extraordinary stroke of bad luck, in the split second it took between opening the edit window and hitting save in order to perform a quick null edit, an editor slipped in a change on a highly visible template, causing me to accidentally revert (without an edit summary). Then on the user talk page edit explaining that, while scrambling to fix it and whatever I was trying to fix in the first place, I failed to leave one. Oh well.
