A logged in user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". When to use this is some what a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit".

This feature is important, because users can choose to ''hide'' minor edits in their view of the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level. | A logged in user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit".
