How can I disable the page history of a Confluence wiki page?

No way to turn it off. I don't know if you're appending to the page or completely recreating with each script run but if it's the later, you could delete the old page then create a new one each time instead.

I do not know how to disable backups for a single page, but you can at least choose whether to keep backups of an entire site or not.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
