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.

There is an article on meta for SpecialDeleteOldRevisions which *could
be* modified to remove oldest bits.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Managing history
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?
