A ''' | A '''minor edit''' is an edit that doesn't really change the content of a page, but rather, fixes small details or mistakes, and other such maintenance work. When editing a page, users have the option of marking the edit as minor. To do so, simply click the checkbox above the "Save page" button (as pictured) prior to saving the page. An "<span class=explain style=color:inherit title="This is a minor edit">'''m'''</span>" will then be displayed alongside the edit on the [[Special:Recentchanges|list of recent changes]], the page's history, watchlists, and the user's list of contributions, thus indicating that the edit was minor. This feature is important, because users can choose to hide minor edits in their view of the recent changes to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level. | ||
