Help:Minor edit: Difference between revisions

A check to the '''minor edit''' box is intended to signify that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous version: typo fixes, formatting, or otherwise rearranging text without changing content. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.

 

 

The distinction between major and minor edits is significant because editors may choose to ignore minor edits when reviewing [[Help:Recent changes|recent changes]]; some users might even set their preferences to not display them. If you think there is any chance that another editor might dispute or discuss your change, do not mark it as minor.
