You can construct your own edit summaries using Custom module. I agree with the first one though.

My goal isn't to change the existing rules, but to have the edit summary that is automatically generated better reflect the changes that are made. Took a quick look at Custom Modules, but didn't see an example of one that with logic such as: if (something) is added, then include (some text) in the edit summary.

Use something like this to begin:
*Summary = "StartSummary"
and call a function inside an if..then statement adding:
*Summary += MoreSummary + @", ";
I guess Rjw can give you more specific instructions.
The first one is good because adding persondata is an improvement and not a fix. The others go a bit off our philosophy, because generating lentghy edit summaries can be time consuming and endless.
