Description David Chang 2006-08-28 21:38:17 UTC Keeping all the old versions of pages really bloats a system. Mediawiki is popular and used by more and more organizations. In many situations such as internal websites, there is no need to keep all the old versions. thanks, david Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-08-28 21:46:59 UTC See the maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php script. That is the extent to which such behaviour is supported.
