Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Mobile and apps/View old revisions with mobile site

View old revisions with mobile site

Problem: It is impossible to view old revisions on the mobile website. Sometimes this would be very handy when checking edits.
Who would benefit: People checking the effects of changes to the page.

Proposed solution: Provide a way to view past revisions.

You mean: "Make it possible to navigate to the old (or new) revision from the diff page" ? instead of only being able to navigate to the previous and the next diff. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 14:21, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Don't kross my dross: See question above, thanks. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 21:35, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In essence, yes. I want to see both the changes themselves (already possible via the diff) and the effects those changes had on the article (by viewing an old revision and comparing it with another revision, which is currently impossible). Whether these things appear together on the one page or separately is really a matter for the design team. Access would be from the page history (and/or the diff view, if it was provided separately).

Support I think the whole history/diff/revert/watchlist/recentchanges etc flow needs serious work really. But gotta start somewhere I guess. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:54, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support, this one of the reasons why I prefer desktop diffs even on mobile — NickK (talk) 17:44, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
