Hi,
I don't want all the past versions of an article to be maintained, because for each minor changes, a new version is created and the db size is growing rapidly. I want only 5 previous versions or so, only. Can we limit the number of versions stored in Mediawiki? Or can we delete the past unwanted versions through the UI?

I have not found such an animal, though with my users it might be a good idea.
There is an article on meta for SpecialDeleteOldRevisions which *could be* modified to remove oldest bits.

I'd rather have a maintenance script to crunch together multiple consecutive revisions by the same user. Maybe I'll try to do that at some point.
