Is it possible to to squash multiple consecutive edits from the same user into one edit ?


In my use case I edit my wiki with SublimeText with the Mediawiker extension,

so by habit I his `CTRL+S` many times over and create new small revisions for the page.


What I'm looking to see if there is an option to squash history edits, e.g over full-day

P.S

I saw the Help:Merge history page, this is not what I'm looking for.

No, this is not possible in any supported way. If you're looking for 'any way' (and since it's your wiki, anyway) I think you can delete the page and recreate the edit in the way you want it.

Hi Ammarpad,


Thank you for the quick reply, from your answer its sound absolute.


Is from your familiarity with the the DB schema it is something practical,

or is it better not to go in that direction at all?

"is it better not to go in that direction at all?" Yes.
