| Aug 17, 2013 at 10:39 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @CodyGray The consequence of this one missing character is code that doesn't work. That's a big consequence, so it isn't a minor edit. A single misspelling outside code is generally minor (see my “One spelling or grammar correction” bullet point). | |

Yeah, I mean I basically agree with this in spirit, I'm just not sure about this particular edit. I guess it's an issue of where you draw the line on major vs. minor. Fixing the code certainly had some value, but there was so much else left untouched that I probably wouldn't have judged it sufficient. It is a bit of a dilemma though, at least for me, that a single misplaced ' is a substantive edit as long as it appears in a code block, but would not be if it were in e.g. the title of the question. What about fixing a misspelled word in the title, but leaving other problems—major or minor?
