Yeah, but the reason the wiki works this way is that pages don't have maintainers the way we hear it for packages. When I maintain a wiki page, I review the changes made by others, but if I disagree with a change, I'll have to explain why I revert it. That is this way because "wiki maintainers" don't "own" pages, like package maintainers basically "own" their packages. Wiki pages maintainers just... maintain their pages.

I understand. I do that with code, but I don't see the point of splitting these changes in smaller edits, given that the changes are so trivial. There are many tiny changes that could form easily 10 edits. Furthermore, none is controversial, so I wouldn't know how to split the changes in gradually more controversial edits.
I reiterate that I could have used better edit summaries.

Thank you. I don't have much to add, I just want the changes to be applied. I'd prefer if you'd simply restore the changes. Otherwise, if there's no opposition, I'll just ask DSA to fix my permissions.
