==Definitions - some of the terms used in this script:==

===Minor edit===

This is any edit that is '''not''' a revert and is a)marked as minor, b)keyword identified as minor and '''not''' a revert, or c)any article edit with too short of a summary that does not have certain keywords. For example, a summary of "(add link)" (8 letters) to an article will be counted as minor, though a summary of "(expanded)" (8 too) will not be counted as minor unless it was marked by the user as minor. Note that "8" is not the cutoff number. One word ''article'' edits that are not recognized key words for significant edits will count as minor as well. For articles, there are both '''minorsignificant''' and '''superficial''' (see below) edits. They are a mutually exclusive subset of '''minor''' edits, '''minorsignificant''' edits are "bigger" and more content related than '''superficial''' edits.

''When calculating edit summary usage or minor markage use, it only looks at how ''the user'' marked it (minor or not) and whether there was a summary that describes a minoran edit or notsummary.''

Minor edits to talk pages are whatever the user marks as minor, minus reverts. Other, non-article edits pass keyword checks and may be counted as major. Articles edits pass word count, keyword, and character count checks; article edit summaries are analyized with the most vigor.

===SuperficialSignificant edit===

These are a subset of '''minor''' edits that apply only to articles, they are more significant and content related than '''superficial''' edits. They constitute things such as small content, information, and reference additions, along with copyedits.

These can be considered "minor" or "small" edits along with '''minor''' marked edits. However, these do not count as '''minor''', they are there own group. In otherwords, they both describe small changes, but are different. Superficial edits are the most minor edits, generally spelling corrections, wikifying, grammar corrections and the like.

===Superficial edit===

These canare bea consideredsubset of "minor" or "small" edits along with '''minor''' marked edits. However, these do not count as '''minor''', they are there own group. In otherwords, they both describe small changes, but are different. Superficial edits are the most minor edits, generally spelling corrections, wikifying, grammar corrections and the like.

Edits marked as minor that have no summary will count as '''superficial'''.

''When calculating edit summary usage, it only looks at how ''the user'' marked it (minor or not) and whether there was a summary that describes a superficial edit or not.''

Edits not marked as minor that are identified as ''Superficial'' will has a green <span style='color:green'>'''(Superficial)'''</span> flag next to them.

===Notable article edits===

These are non-minor (see above), non revert edit to articles. Note that article edits are scanned quite thouroughly, so many edits not marked as minor may be counted as minor. Most significant edits include creation, expansion, rewrites, and the addition of several sources to a page. Copyedits marked as major will count as well.

''Don't feel bad because your number is low, most admins have a very low number do to an increased focus on non-editing (<1%). Non-admins tend to run about 21-42% (unless they are "vandal fighters", which gives them about the same percent as most admins).''

DoDue to the [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] case...I decided to have one pass that can change edits marked as minor asto "significant". Such modest user's contribs page will have a bright blue "<span style='color:blue'>'''(Significant!")'''</span> next to those edits, the count (# next to it) is still the same as any significant edit.

===Significant edits===

This number looks at all of the user edits across all namespaces. Articles edits are heavily scrutized so that only "notable" edits do not count as major. Talk page edits are not analyzed, so the edits will count however the user marked them. The other namespaces, like Project/Images/ect... will go through a simple keyword check to filter out minor edits (not as rigorous as article edits).

Do to the [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] case...I decided to have one pass that can change edits marked as minor as "significant". Such modest user's contribs page will have a bright blue "Significant!" next to those edits, the count (# next to it) is still the same as any significant edit.

==FAQ==

===How does "MinorSuperficial article edits marked as minor" work?===

All article edits marked as minor count as minor (reverts too). This percent istakes (all minor'''superficial''' article edits) - (articlethose editsnot changedmarked toas minor) and divides it by (all minor'''superficial''' article edits.) to get the percent.

Note that while reverts are changed to minor for other stats, they still count as whatever they where marked as.

Edits with no summary that are marked as minor are counted as minor.
