25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi Birdsinthewindow! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia{{Snd}} 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. Please see Help:Minor edit ↗ for more information. Thank you.

:{{reply to|David Biddulph}} Thank you for telling me this! I wasn't aware of the rule; the other wiki I edit doesn't have that button, and I didn't think to look it up. I won't make that mistake again in future.
:Is there any way to fix my error, or should I just let it be? --Birdsinthewindow (talk) 00:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
