I haven't seen anything that distinguishes minor edits from others. I believe it's up to the individual editor to decide if they think their edit is minor or not.

When I mark an edit as minor, it usually means something like adding italics to a title, fixing spelling or grammar, something like that, not the sort of thing that would likely encourage new editors.
