It describes the editing community's established practice on some aspect or aspects of Wikipedia's norms and customs. It is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Shortcuts WP:MINOR WP:ME This page in a nutshell: Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word, and it is improper to mark such an edit as minor. This page is referenced in the Wikipedia Glossary. Wiki letter w.svg

The "minor edit" checkbox (circled)

The "minor edit" selection box (circled) in the Visual editor "save" form A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. An edit of this kind is marked in its page's revision history with a lower case, bolded "m" character (m).

By contrast, a major edit is one that should be reviewed for its acceptability to all concerned editors. Any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it concerns a single word; for example, the addition or removal of "not" is not a minor edit.

Because editors may choose to ignore minor edits when reviewing recent changes, the distinction between major and minor edits is significant. Logged-in users can set their preferences not to display minor edits. If there is any chance that another editor might dispute a change, the edit should not be marked as minor. (If an editor considers a change to be minor yet conceivably controversial, it is always possible to include "minor" in the edit summary without ticking the "minor edit" box.)

Users who are not logged in to Wikipedia are not permitted to mark changes as minor because of the potential for vandalism.[a] The ability to mark changes as minor is one of many reasons to register.

A good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content should be flagged as minor edits.

Misnomer Read as wiki page Close What about tense changes (e.g. "product planned for launch" -> "product launched")? When an article says "X is planned for release in May 2016" and it's now past that date and the product has in fact been released, would changing that to "X was released in May 2016" (if that was actually the case) be a minor edit? Kabutoo (talk) 20:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

@Kabutoo: That feels like a major edit to me. Ideally the fact of the release needs a new citation. The previous text, "X is going to be released", might have been backed up by a citation to some pre-release announcement, but that doesn't prove that X actually happened as planned. -- John of Reading (talk) 22:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC) I also agree that that seems like a major edit. Additionally, a citation to support the product's release update would be prudent. –Matthew - (talk) 20:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC) Reply
