Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description:
In the diff-view small edits aren't marked as one. In the history or the
watchlist this isn't a problem.

I'm not sure what this means. Can you explain?

I suspect he means that there's no indication as to whether the edit was marked
as minor or not. If that's the case, then I'm not sure that it's an issue, to be
honest, since the diff view provides more information about the nature of the
edit than a single letter ever could.

But we Germans are angry if a small edit isn't marked as a small edit :-) So, it
might cause some silly reactions.

Okay, more precisely: When I saw that there was no "K" (K - klein) given in the
diff-view (see link) I thought about reminding the user to use this possibility,
when editing an article.

I don't follow.

It means I don't understand.

"K" is from the German WP, in the English it's "M" (M - minor).

In addition, the diff view isn't perfect, so sometimes small edit (a new line)
looks like a big edit, because the whole text of a paragraph is colored red.
