February 2024[edit]
Hi Servus-a-manu! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Apodanthaceae that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. As the guidance says, it's safer to mark an edit as non-minor if you aren't sure. Your edit to Sapria is a good example of one that is minor. Thanks for your contributions! Ligaturama (talk) 09:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello ligaturama, thank you very much for informing me. I am extremely new to editing on wikipedia, so this is very helpful information. Is there any way to change the designation of my edit of the Apodanthaceae page? Servus-a-manu (talk) 09:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- This is just to say that I have followed the advice outlined on the minor edit page to create a dummy edit to indicate that my previous edit was not minor. Servus-a-manu (talk) 09:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, it's not a big deal, just wanted to point it out before you made any more edits! Ligaturama (talk) 09:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
