AI overview
A minor edit is a change made to a page that doesn't substantially alter its content—such as fixing a typo, correcting grammar, or adjusting formatting. Marking an edit as minor helps other editors focus their attention on more significant changes that might need review.

The "minor edit" selection box 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, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism. A minor edit 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 lowercase, bolded "m" character (m).
