Is it a minor edit (spelling or formatting fixup, add an existing category)?

- It will become part of the page
If not:
- the page may be reverted
- it may receive a warning message that has a time limit before your changes are reverted
- your changes may be modified
In either case, a good editor will add a reason for the action in the edit, and if you were logged in, add a note to your user page.
