Thank you for answering. For the first thing, yes, I'm using TinyMCE, but users copy and paste from Word with all the "smart things" it does to text. And TinyMCE does not prevent them from doing harm. I think it would be very useful to use at least the cleaner http://ethilien.net/websoft/wordcleaner/cleaner.htm so this does not solve my problems. About the "minor edit" idea, I think it's a good one; there are a lot of partial reports, why not providing only the fundamental changes on the timeline? The button or a checkbox are not so important. Contributions to wiki are already well documented: adding a page, appending (comments) are the really important changes. Anyway, for consistency, I suggest to record all the changes and to report only the important changes and those that are marked "major edits". c
