Editsummarisis or Editisis is a serious disease in which a user writes an unclear edit summary (Strain A) or, even worse, leaves it blank (Strain B).
Sometimes, Editsummarisis is mistaken for "vandalism" in confusing edits, as people will be questioning the editor's motives. It is found that 25% of the sufferers of editcountitis are affected by the Editsummarisis virus.[citation needed] Unfortunately, it is contagious as an adopter could easily be infected by their adoptee.
