[[User:Mauro742]] has produced some statistics: 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usage_of_edit_summary_on_Wikipedia
There are great differences among Wikipedias.
Apparently, sk.wiki and pl.wiki are the only Wikipedias where standard 
edit summaries buttons are used, and where edit summary usage is about 90%.
Wha to do you think? Are those buttons useful, or maybe they make edit 
summaries more similar and pointless? Do they increase usability? Should 
we introduce them elsewhere?
