Just a thought re: vandalism
At some point, some of the vandals are going to spot the "minor edit" button, and realise it makes their vandalism harder to police. Would it be too unwiki to limit the option of "minor edit" to those logged in (most non-vandal new users don't seem use it anyway).

I think that's pretty reasonable.
I personally have my preferences set to "show minor edits" and "show all changes". This means that I see _everything_ on my Recent_Changes page.
This makes the page longer, but I also have it set to show only 1 day. So it isn't unbearable.

I agree! Have we done this?

Ditto--personally, I hardly pay attention to the difference at all.
