MovieNut14 didn't reply to me here, but rather on the PM, telling me that they'd "let it slide" because "it's one comma". Any more thoughts about this?

In the following entry on Solo Mission Becomes Group Mission, I initially added the quoted coma in the example for the first Trolls movie to make it match how it's written in the work/franchise pages, thinking that I forgot to put a punctuation in the example back when I first suggested it to the trope's TLP draft.
However, I then decided to remove the comma to leave it like this:
The reason is because, as I looked through the page's history (which is rather short, since it only had few edits since it was first created), I realized I already added the comma over a year ago (circa January 1st, 2022) just as the trope was launched, but then MovieNut14 removed the comma as part of a grammar cleanup. Honestly, I was getting paranoid that I was starting a very slow-paced Edit War.
However, I don't know if the circumstances warrant it to be an edit war like how I was previously suspended for re-doing an edit of mine previously removed by someone else after several months in Nightmare Fuel.Saw II. I was also briefly suspended another time because of a brief miscommunication on PM with Random Troper 123 that made me re-do a removal of a spoiler tag on The Devil's folder in Cuphead - Main Characters to make it match with the content that's spoiler-tagged (which RandomTroper once reverted); of course, the miscommunication circumstance allowed this suspension to be lifted from me because I was following the Edit War policy's recommendations otherwise.

at the "Would like to edit again" forum thread (after which I followed Synchronicity's word to start this Short-Term Project thread
that hasn't had much activity — I did it on that thread because I didn't think it'd fit on Wiki Talk, due to the fact that there are no work-specific cleanup threads there).
Can my brief edits be considered an Edit War, even if the latest edit happened more than a year after the previous ones (a much longer time gap than the few months with my first edit war problem), the thing that I changed was very small, and then I quickly reverted it myself when I realized what I did? I already know well about the wiki's edit war policy and how I can communicate with others to avoid an edit war, but I'm quite paranoid at times with my edits because I don't always remember everything that I edited on a page, and I get worried that I could unintentionally start an edit war at any time (just like what may have happened right now).
Seeing that MovieNut14 is still active, I sent them a PM to notify them about this query and let them give their own opinion regarding this issue.
