Community Wishlist/Wishes/Allow changeset edits for templates and modules
Description
When working with version control on software development, it's good practice to have each individual revision reflect a single (type of) change. However, in MediaWiki each individual revision is immediately committed to the live version of a page (discounting FlaggedRevs and the like), meaning this type of separation can be potentially very expensive if it's happening on a widely-transcluded template/widely-invoked module, since each individual edit creates jobs for every page using that template/module. Therefore, it should be possible to make multiple changes to a template/module as separate revisions, and then submit them all as a single edit/commit/whatever to the live template/module.
