If you accidentally say something isn't a minor edit but it is how do you make it so it doesn't say you made the last edit?
Unless you are a Supervisor and have an "enhanced" tool box to edit here, you can't change things. This superb question comes from someone concerned about integrity. If you make a minor edit and don't check the minor edit box, contact a Supervisor, briefly explain the situation, and ask that Supervisor to "Revert" the answer. It will go back to what it was, and then you can make a second edit to the answer and check the Minor edit box just before you post. Problem solved and credit is restored to the last person who did a "major edit" to the answer.

What is a major edit on WikiAnswers?
A major edit, as opposed to a minor edit, is when a significant change is made. Adding a small comment on a 5 paragraph answer is fairly minor. Changing grammar on an answer and correcting punctuation is a minor edit regardless of how big or small the answer is. Correcting a typo or word choice is also minor. Adding a paragraph or sentence on an answer, particularly when providing solid facts is a major edit.

Will I fail my TIP task if I do not use minor edit?
If you do not use minor edit where you are required to do so, for example when you edit an answer to correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, style and so on, you can fail your TIP mission. The TIP Supervisor will give you a notice of why the mission was failed and you will be asked to re-do it. Meanwhile all the edits where you should have used minor edit will be reverted by the Supervisor. It is paramount that you complete missions accurately. If you mistakenly forget to tick minor edit, simply let a TIP Supervisor know and they can sort that out for you.

Why is it that whenever you answer a question on WikiAnswers it shows up as just a minor edit in your contributions list?
Make sure the "Make this a minor edit" box is not checked before you post your answer. You can also go to your "My settings" page and set the default there. Note: It is important that any edit that does not make a "substantial contribution" to an existing answer be done as a Minor edit. Correcting spelling, punctuation or other minor language issues, or adding a "fun fact" is not a Major edit. If you fail to check the Minor edit box on a post when you add little to nothing to the posted answer, you effectively "steal credit" for the last edit from the person who actually did the work. That is unfair - and against policy here. Additionally, how would you like it if it was done to you? The editing of answers in minor ways and the failure to check the Minor edit box is something that may arise out of ignorance of guidelines here. It may also arise out of the desire to amass a lot of Recommends. And it is a selfish individual who will do this and risk a Warning for his actions, not to mention the possible suspension of his account. The Golden Rule applies here. Do unto others. WikiAnswers policy is just an extension of that. Questions should be directed to any Supervisor. They're here to help.

How do you add another answer on here without editing the first answer that someone entered?
You MUST be logged in. Click "Edit" then to the right of the little answer box will be "Minor edit". That will give the last person the credit, you just made an edit. (Spelling, grammar, etc.) If you want to add your opinion, just click "edit". A minor edit isn't needed.
Why can't I see the name of the last person to edit some answers?
