Reason for revert.

it never says anywhere on Wikipedia's guidelines or policies that not providing an edit summary on an edit can't be reverted.H:FIES. * MrFlyingPies23 * (Talk?) | (*Contrib*) 04:11, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Accurate summaries help other contributors decide whether they want to review an edit, and to understand the change should they choose to review it. Edits that do not have an edit summary are more likely to be reverted incorrectly, because it may not be obvious what the purpose of the edit was. Editors should not revert an otherwise good edit because of a missing or confusing edit summary; good editors may simply have forgotten, or a confusing edit summary may have been the result of an autofill mishap. (If the edit summary itself violates privacy or other policies, see the Fixing section below.) However, realistically, when a major edit (e.g., addition or deletion of a substantial amount of article text, or a substantial rewrite) doesn't have an edit summary, some busy editors might not assume good faith and revert the change without evaluating it properly. Providing an edit summary helps prevent that kind of error. H:FIES. You can revert an edit that doesn't have an edit summary. That edit was pretty big by that Wikipedian. He didn't provide an edit summary. Revert, warn make them do make their edit with an edit summary this time. * MrFlyingPies23 * (Talk?) | (*Contrib*) 04:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
