Mini-modding is normally when you're acting as a mod when you're not one. Some people find this irritating, especially if people are warning about behaviour that is actually fine or only slightly against policy and not a big deal. There's nothing wrong with cleaning up categorisation or pictures.

I also don't see any problem with just making minor edits, making actual pointless edits (like a one-character change that doesn't do anything) is another matter, because it floods RC, the most I see of this is normally people who are editing a lot but not using the preview button.
