It's when you're boosting your edits or trying to get badges by making very many very minor edits, or maybe one very minor edit per day if you're going for the "Contribute to the wiki every day for X days" badges. In your case, you were editing the same page many times in a row in just a few minutes, while usually only adding one link or something similar every edit. That gives you many more edits and badges much faster than if you would just do it all in one edit.

I'm kinda surprised that I have to explain it actually, because I was pretty sure you were doing it on purpose. Or maybe you just didn't know there was a name for it and rules against it? To avoid it you should just add all those links in a single edit. Of course you can forget something and edit it later, and of course you can do minor edits, but you shouldn't do more edits than necessary.

I hope I've explained it well enough, because I'll admit I'm not always the best explainer.
