This may help people who are leery of making too
many edits at once,
for fear of timeouts or "Contributor conflic", as well as keep the
database from growing too much.
Yes, we've discussed this before. I think I have found a solution now that
I will probably implement at some point:
Automatically have a checkbox appear after the second edit by the same
user to the same page that says "Combine with previous edit"
This checkbox would not be active by default to avoid data loss. But users
who make lots of subsequent edits could pick:
User preference:
[ ] Combine subsequent edits by default
Combining the edit would simply mean deleting the previous revision. The
edit comments could be concatenated.
Uses the last edit summary, or an automatic edit summary saying
"combined last X edits"? And could we have this turned on by
unchangeable default for Michael? ;)

When others do a foolish thing, you should tell them it is a foolish
thing. They can still continue to do it, but at least the truth is
where it needs to be.
