Template:Page history

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki


This template is similar to Template:Last edit except that on every save edit info is added.

To start it up on a page, put

<ul style="display:none">{{subst:page history|}}</ul>

Example:

Extras compared with the regular page history:

  • wikitext, so it can be edited

Extras of the regular page history:

  • edit summaries
  • diff feature

Other differences:

  • the template gives signatures, the regular page history gives plain, official user names, with links to talk page etc.
  • the time zone is fixed in the template (UTC); the regular page history uses the user-dependent time zone
  • while the date format is dependent on user-preferences in both cases, the regular page history adds seconds in the case of ISO 8601 format, while in the template it is fixed whether seconds are displayed (currently not)
