minor edit, edit, major edit, update, major update, replacement

Seems extremely nitpicky and not user friendly. Maybe cut it down to 3 options: I think edit (for fixes), update (for additional), and replacement would cover all the bases nicely.

Agreed!

Correction and update would cover all the cases. Replacement optional, but I don't think this was used more than dozen times...

It was used two dozen times by me alone, and I don't revise much...

I guess it is mainly used for descriptions stolen from other websites..

And worthless two-sentence descriptions

Guessing all the different types were there for the points, to separate fixing a typo from an editorial and formatting overhaul of the text and adding a little missing element from adding most things to something that barely covered the basics before.
