This is the semi-definitive thread for defining the difference between minor and major edits. If there's any further debate, you can always ask me personally. I'm highly reachable.

Minor:
Any single-page edit, no matter how drastic, UNLESS the page is disputed in accuracy or point of view.
Any edit which modifies a pair of pages which are codependant in the same way (i.e., merging two pages into one does not require a topic; however, mass-merge of pages does). For example, modifying a page specifically on Moon Stones and the Moon Stone entry in the Items list.
Any single-page splitting, if there is enough information to warrant two seperate articles.

Major:
Any category-wide or otherwise large-scale modification in the following ways:
-Formatting
-Features
-Infobox Design
-Naming Conventions
-Splitting
-Merging
