Describe the feature you'd like

Some of our users would like to be able to mark a change as a minor revision, for fixing typos and such, so the version number of a page will only be incremented when substantial changes are made to a page.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This change would increase the readability of the revisions table of a page and keep the revision count low.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

The only other means I have found would be the unsupported "hack" https://www.bookstackapp.com/hacks/prune-revisions-command/ This way users would have to specify major changes in a changelog so the revisions table would only show these changes. I would really like to abstain from using a command that has so many warnings written all over it.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

3 months to 1 year

Very important. Every time we edit small details it creates a new instance on the revision page, which is very hard to keep track of.

We also could be able to save the page in the same revision (with minor details)

In addition, we would like to have the option to edit changelog names.
