Please use [Show Preview] instead of [Save Page] for every little edit. ShoeMaker 18:36, February 20, 2012 (EST) I started using the Show Preview and Marking the Minor Edit box for small Void425 19:01, February 20, 2012 (EST) The purpose of the minor edit box is not for you have been using it for. Just because an edit is small, does not mean its minor.

From wikipedia
A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content. A minor edit is one that the editor believes 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 lower case, bolded "m" character (m).

When you actaully add additional information about the game, even if deemed "small" it should never be marked as a minor edit. As all game information are edits that we will review (patrol) and can be the subject of a dispute, so don't mark those as minor please.→ Shade 22:55, February 20, 2012 (EST)

I took time to actually go and read the help and faq section and now I understand it a lot better. Minor edit is not for "small change", but for grammatical change. I will be using it properly from now on out. ( It seems to actually use the minor edit you need ddowikivip status, so checking it now probably does nothing, but it is best to use good habits now then to try and change them later.)

For clarification, anyone can actually use "Mark as minor edit", but only ddowikivip and higher statuses can have their edits automatically marked as such. ShoeMaker 12:23, February 22, 2012 (EST)
