Template:Ph:Minor edit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Disputed page
Reverts to a disputed page are unlikely to be minor. When a page is disputed, and especially if an edit war is brewing or in full eruption, then it's better not to mark ANY edit as minor, unless you're sure that all other users will agree it's minor, like correcting a misspelling.
[edit] Limitation on users not logged in
The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be easily marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in.
