So, I'm a new user and trying to figure out how things work around here. I saw a post in which someone forgot to put one of their math equations between dollar signs, so it came out in raw LateX rather than in a readable form.

I saw an 'edit' button, and went "I'll just be nice and edit this in". Saw that it'd then enter a queue to have the edit be confirmed, which is fine...but then when I went to try to submit it, I got an error message saying edits had to be at least 6 characters long. I can see why one might not want people going in to edit minor spelling mistakes, but it seems like this is a pretty common edit to want to make....should I just put a comment in for the original poster to fix, or is there some other way around this, or...?
