See Suppression.


By default this feature isn't enabled but it is builtin, so you have to gove admins additional user rights

I don't think one can do that. But there is Manual:DeleteOldRevisions.php. Be very careful with this, as it will actually remove data. Make a backup before running anything like this.

@Osnard Is there any way to Switch all revision older than a specific date to a provided user (e.g. Anonymous) without actually merging the user?

example id user1 has made changes 10 years ago, history should be displaying name as anonymous user.

I am not aware of any such function. There are extensions like Extension:BlueSpicePrivacy that implement some sort of "anonymization" or "pseudonymization", but I dnot sure if this will suit your needs.
