4 bytes. Minor edit?
The current system also fails to catch that one, since a person making a
change like that would probably mark it as minor. My proposal to let
the software do the work is no worse than the current system, and is a
win from a usability point of view.
I do not agree with Jonathan. The degree to which an edit is minor or
not has virtually nothing to do with the number of bytes.
The ability to signal to others that an edit is minor is useful and should
be continued. Denying this ability to anon users is reasonable, and does not
prevent them from making any edits. Soft security at its finest.
