| Dec 2, 2022 at 23:57 | comment | added | mickmackusa | I don't want users to be making trivial edits. I want users to have the mindset that complete/comprehensive edits are most valued. I'd rather not have this role at all for the message that it sends to inexperienced editors. | |

| Nov 30, 2022 at 16:20 | comment | added | Rob | This is already set at 500, that seems fairly low already; why should it be slightly lower? (add your reply to your answer, don't hide it in a comment). | |
| Nov 30, 2022 at 11:23 | comment | added | Mentalist | I always leave typos as they are when I come across them. Guess why... because of the character quota for edits! An edit is required to be at least x characters long. Well what should we do - fix the typo and then add a bunch of extra filler text into the question to satisfy the requirement? Nah, I'll pass. Just leave the typo in... How could this be improved? Maybe with a way to denote typo fixes as a different category of edit that doesn't warrant a high priority in the review queue. | |
| Nov 30, 2022 at 8:30 | comment | added | Joachim | I agree with @PM2Ring: 250 seems far too low a reputation threshold to indicate even a clear understanding of a site's scope, let alone tag use. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 16:12 | comment | added | Laurel | Well before my time, there was a "retag questions" privilege that was granted at 500 rep. Pretty sure it was exactly what you'd think, you can make tag edits (and only tag edits). I think it was removed after suggested edits became a thing. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 9:36 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | I have mixed feelings about this. Yes, it's often easy for someone with some familiarity with the site to improve the tags on a question from a low-rep newbie. OTOH, it often requires a Subject Matter Expert to select the best set of tags, especially if the question isn't basic. FWIW, on Physics.SE, one of our most prolific tag editors is a very knowledgeable diamond mod. | |

| Nov 29, 2022 at 8:47 | comment | added | starball | I'd suggest that you edit to suggest a reputation threshold and provide a rationale. Perhaps you could back up the rationale with reference to personal experience, or even better, with hard data (which would take a lot more work to do, but would result in a much more convincing post!). | |

Explained role more in details

| Nov 29, 2022 at 8:36 | comment | added | KWriter | I'm looking at thresholds. I think that at some 500 points, you get access to the triage queue. This is good, and it shouldn't be lowered. But I think that someone who checks the tags, and edits that have been marked as "I just fixed a typo in question/answer" could be done by someone who has less than 500 points in reputation. I think that approving edits that were related only to typos shouldn't be done with 2k rep, but with lower reputation. I hope that I'm more clear now. | |
