Typos are not bugs

I consider typos to be bugs, although very minor, as you said. As for the triviality:

Now, I fully understand that not all contributions are equal. I originally considered adding different medals for different levels of contributions (e.g. “trivial” for typos, “standard” for one-line fixes, “major” for game-breaking bugs or new content, etc.). However, that opens the floodgates for debates about should and shouldn’t go in each category (especially borderline cases). As it stands, it’s sometimes not even clear-cut whether I should award a bug or idea medal.

I’d rather not over-complicate the medal-awarding process. It’s time-consuming enough as it is. In my opinion, the benefits of simplification outweigh the drawbacks (mis-sorting, farming).

Nevertheless, I think “typos” as a category is pretty well-defined, so we can exclude them from receiving medals from now on.

To be clear:

• Reports of typos are still welcome, and desired. They are part of the polish of the final product, which is very important for me.
• “Typos” are limited to capitalization, spelling or grammatical errors. Anything beyond that can still potentially receive a medal (even something as simple as e.g. renaming “Heroes’ Medal” to “Medal of Heroes”). Also, typesetting errors (wrong justification, text overflows outside button, etc.) can still receive medals.
