For the user that made that edit, 'talk' takes you to their personal [[Help:Talk Pages|talk page]], whilst 'contribs' shows you all of that user's contributions (edits they've made). The contribs link is useful to determine whether they are a spammer, and if there is a problem, for finding other edits by the same user that you may also need to correct. | For the user that made that edit, 'talk' takes you to their personal [[Help:Talk Pages|talk page]], whilst 'contribs' shows you all of that user's contributions (edits they've made).

;What is a 'minor' edit | |||
Next to the save button, you can tick "This is a minor edit" to mark your edit as being minor. You should only mark an edit as minor if your edit is only to fix something small, and does NOT change the meaning or overall structure/style of the page. For example, correcting a spelling mistake or fixing a broken line of code. The rule of thumb is only to mark it minor if nobody could ever possibly disagree with you. Remember that even tiny edits can have a big impact on the page, so always preview your edits before saving. Edits marked as minor are not treated differently - they will still be inspected by staff - but it helps when looking through page histories to be able to see when big changes were made. | |||
