I'm new to editing pages, and I was wondering, what counts as a "minor edit" and what does that classification even affect? Because it seems all of my edits are quite minor (adding/deleting/formatting a sentence or two, fixing minor spelling/grammar mistakes, etc.) but I don't know where to draw the line as "minor". Thanks in advance.

:There is no strict definition; it is up to the user if they think it classifies as minor. Relinking, spelling and grammar fixes, and section reordering are generally considered minor, whereas if you restructure an an entire sentence or two it probably isn't. There is a grey area where it is perfectly acceptable to go either way. There is no punishment for incorrectly flagging edits as minor (although you might get a nudge if you rewrite an entire article and flag it as minor). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:21, 27 December 2012 (UTC) | :There is no strict definition; it is up to the user if they think it classifies as minor.

::Thanks. But what does the "minor edit" classification even affect? Does it get put on some list somewhere or what? [[User:Whitsoxrule|Whitsoxrule]] ([[User talk:Whitsoxrule|talk]]) 08:23, 27 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
