Disable wiki notifications for small update

Question

I have a gazillion wiki pages with many subscribers. I need to make small edits but do not want to trigger a notification for that 
 Is there a way an author can select : Small Update , that doesn't trigger a notification?

Agreed this is clunky. There is an API for suppressing notifications. If you're performing all of these updates via REST, you can use the Rest-Disable-Notifications header . For in-process, there's the IProcess.RunProcessWithDisabledNotifications(Action) API. And for widget, theme, and automation scripts, there's the DisableNotifications option which can be passed to core_v2_widget.ExecuteFile() . It would be possible to update the edit wiki widget to consume these APIs - most easily the latter. 
 It's also worth noting that the new Articles application in version 12 has notification suppression built-in as a UI option when editing an article version.
