Details
Defines.php contains "a few constants that might be needed during LocalSettings.php. Note: these constants must all be resolvable at compile time by HipHop, since this file will not be executed during request startup for a compiled MediaWiki." Among the constants are version constants for the benefit of extensions; Unicode normalisation related constants; namespace constants, including those that provide support for $wgResourceModules; protocol constants for wfExpandUrl; and flags for Parser::replaceLinkHolders.

If you want to set both the EDIT_MINOR and EDIT_NEW flags in $flags to true, and all the other flags in $flags to false:

If you want to set the EDIT_MINOR flag in $flags to false:

If you want $isminor to only be true if the EDIT_MINOR flag is set to true in $flags:
