I understand that wikis deal with articles and diffs

MediaWiki (or any other wiki system) deal with groups of related diffs that get
applied to multiple articles all at once? This would be similar to changesets
in BitKeeper or subversion repositories.
MediaWiki? No. Other wikis? Who knows, someone might be crazy enough
to implement it, but it's not a "standardly wiki" thing to want to do,
if that makes any sense. The principle interface of a
("normal"/"traditional") wiki is a single-page-at-a-time web
interface, whereas what you're referring to sounds more like a "submit
a whole bunch of changes" interface. Not that there aren't advantages
to that, but not for the "many users doing many things" nature of
wikis.
