"However, a minor sentence is an irregular type of a sentence. It does not follow all the grammatical rules; For example: How do you do?"
And Eightup has pointed out to me that "you" is the subject of the example, the first "do" is the verb, and the second "do" is the object - thus making it a sentence following the rules of a sentence, even though Wiki says it "does not follow all the grammatical rules".
Personally, a question is defined by the questionmark at the end - and a sentence is defined by the fullstop. If it has a full stop, it cannot be a question. Thus if it has a questionmark it cannot be a sentence:)
