      Combine edits by the same user within X minutes

      If a member edits a page, it really doesn't matter if the user made 1 large edit or 100 small edits in a row. The latter often happens. This just clutters up the history.
      If moderation is turned on, it also blocks the user from making multiple edits, which means we loose out on a lot of content.
      Another issue is that we end up with a mass of alerts for many minor edits. I know you are already considering how to resolve the alerts issue.

      The system should treat multiple edits by the same user within a small time frame as one edit.
      Please add a setting for this. It would resolve multiple issues.

      A feature like this would need to be used with caution. If a user makes a mistake in a later edit and wants to roll back to a previous edit within the last few minutes, they will not be able to.

      Yes, I considered this. I think there are several ways to avoid problems.

      1. let the users prevent merging. Add a checkbox: treat this edit as unique (do not merge with my previous edits)
      2. merge after X minutes.

      I would prefer the first option because it resolves all issues with alerts as well.

      These two issues rely on each other: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/2151/
      The difference in this request is that the ability to update a recent edit would also apply to non-moderated edits.
