These are here so that I don't have to look them up.

What to mark as minor changes

  • Spelling, grammatical, and punctuation corrections
  • Simple formatting (e.g., capitalization, or properly adding italics to non-English words, like Wikipedia:folie de grandeur, or titles of certain works, like Wikipedia:The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)
  • Formatting that does not change the meaning of the page (e.g., moving a picture, splitting one paragraph into two—where this is not contentious)
  • Correcting obvious factual errors (e.g., changing "The Pyramids were built in 2500 AD" to "The Pyramids were built in 2500 BC")
  • Fixing layout errors
  • Adding or correcting wikilinks, or fixing broken external links and references already present in the article
  • Removing obvious vandalism

What not to mark as minor changes

  • Adding or removing content in an article
