Description
I often do just very minor changes to Wiki pages. Now I end up with a very huge and long wiki-page history.
imho something like a flag "minor change" would be very useful. When this flag is set the page-history shouldn't get an entry….

This isn't exactly like #38, but that may be something similar that would help. Although if you're making a lot of small changes to the same page, it may be better to use the "Preview" more frequently rather than saving every change.
However I think that simply hiding changes from the timeline, and this even seems to suggest hiding them from the page's history as well, is a dangerous idea. The timeline is quite important for keeping developers informed, and hopefully peer reviewing the edits. Sometimes what the author thinks is something as small as a spelling or grammar correction is incorrect, so eliminating the chance for someone else to see this change is a bad idea. It even opens the possibility for someone to intentionally make a malicious change that is hidden from the history and unlikely to be noticed.
