When editing a page, a logged-in user can mark that edit as "minor". Minor edits generally mean spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text. It is possible to ''hide'' minor edits when viewing [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]]. Marking a real change as a minor edit is considered bad behavior, and even more so if it involves the deletion of some text. If one has accidentally marked an edit as minor, make another edit (add an extra space between two words, or a line break), mark it major, and say "the previous edit was major" in the summary. | When editing a page, a logged-in user can mark that edit as "minor".
