Question from Tapir washed (23:44, 3 November 2026)

Hello Stella! It's my first day of editing and, after reading the page for "Minor edits" I've realized that I tagged edit as "minor" even though they weren't. Is there any way in which I could go back and change it or otherwise mark it as a small edit instead? Thank you!! --Tapir washed (talk) 23:44, 3 November 2026 (UTC)

• Tapir washed, once you mark an edit as minor, you can't reverse it. I recommend being more careful with what you label as "minor" or not as you could be unintentionally misleading editors. — 🌙Eclipse (🍳 • 🎀) 19:46, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

  (talk page stalker) If it was an especially controversial/large change, I would make a dummy edit to clarify that it wasn't minor. a wondrous raven (talk) 19:58, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
