===Minor===

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. NotNote that "8" is not the cuttoffcutoff number. One word ''article'' edits that are not reckognizedrecognized key words for significant edits will count as minor as well. For articles, there are both '''minor''' and '''superficial''' (see below) edits. They are mutually exclusive, '''minor''' edits are "bigger" and more content related than '''superficial''' edits.

''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 minor edit or not.''
