A question like that is pretty subjective, and the answer received is really going to depend on who you ask. Most people would probably say that building up articles (content-wise) is among the most important things one can do. For instance, an edit that adds ten paragraphs to an article will generally be deemed more valuable than, say, one fixing a couple of links.

That isn't to say that minor edits are less important than major ones, however. I do a mix of both, and I can honestly say that polishing things up is just as important as writing content. One must not forget that this wiki must be kept looking presentable as well as factual and informative. If our articles are riddled with mistakes, people are going to be less likely to want to read them, no matter how useful the information might be.

In my opinion, it's not really worth worrying about how important your edits are going to be in comparison to other users' additions. My advice to you is to avoid purely editing things like talk pages and profiles and whatnot, because doing so is looked down upon here. It's fine to make those kinds of edits when necessary, but regularly contributing to the mainspace, adding images, etc. is far more important.
