Description Church of emacs 2009-06-15 13:21:16 UTC 
There was a request to enable the "missingsummary" feature on the German Wikipedia (if the user didn't specify otherwise in his preferences, he gets a warning if he tries to save a page without filling out the summary).
However, missingsummary is buggy (conflicts with extensions, such as ConfirmEdit (Captcha)) and it can't be enabled for specific namespaces only (in most cases, if ns!=0, a summary is not needed).
A better alternative utilizing AbuseFilter has been written and is ready to replace 'missingsummary'. Therefore please disable 'missingsummary'.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-07-13 18:50:50 UTC 
Request was in bug 17453.

For some reason this ended up in the abusefilter.php config:

if ($wgDBname == 'dewiki') {
        // Removed custom AbuseFilter settings per bug 18223 --Andrew 2009-03-29
        // WHere on earth did this come from? --Andrew
        $wgDefaultUserOptions ['forceeditsummary'] = 1;

No idea what that's doing there. :)

I've gone ahead and removed it.
