navigating wikipedia if you want to view a page s history go to the page e g cat and click the view history tab in the upper right section of the screen video about the wikipedia history page showing a list of every edit made to it 10 minute video introduction to the view history feature from 2013 a page history shows the sequence of edits made to any editable wikipedia page the difference between any two revisions and a menu of special external tools a page history is sometimes called revision history or edit history you can view a page s history by clicking the view history tab at the top of the associated page pictured on the mobile version of the site the process works differently see mobile version for details the page history contains a list of the page s previous revisions including the date and time in utc by default of each edit the username temporary account name or for older edits the ip address of the user who made the change and an optional edit summary that briefly describes or explains the change for example the page history for this help page shows it was first created on september 20 2004 and that it has been changed more than 750 times since then external tools on page history pages on every page history page before the history begins there are links to several external tools for analyzing or correcting a page on wikipedia these are find addition removal calls a tool called wikiblame which searches page histories not the body text of pages for strings reporting which user s were responsible for adding or deleting the string find edits by user page statistics gives word character and link counts top editors and edit counts by month and year page information in every page s left hand margin gives highlights of this information page views over any time period selected page information in the left hand margin gives page views for the previous 30 days only fix dead links dead links will be repaired if the page linked has been archived in the internet archive repairs will generate an entry in the page history on the dead links tool there is a box which if checked will cause the tool to back up in the internet archive those linked pages not yet in it this is not needed and is sometimes blocked for major sources like the new york times but is valuable for pages which are more likely to go dead such as personal pages and those from small businesses and small or temporary organizations using a history page overview on a history page all past changes to the page in question are listed in reverse chronological order to view a specific revision click a date to compare an old revision with the current revision go to the old revision click cur to compare a revision with its predecessor click prev to compare two specific revisions click the left column radio button of the older revision and the right column radio button of the newer revision and then click the compare selected revisions button to undo revert your own or someone else s edit click the undo link see wikipedia undo for more information below is a detailed example of a page history using the default vector 2022 skin the edits are listed in chronological order from newest to oldest and are displayed with each edit being their own row in the list with each row taking up one line of text each entry in the edit history will show the time and date that the edit was applied the username temporary account name or ip address of the contributor who saved the edit the total size of the resulting page text in bytes the net size difference in bytes that the changes made from the edit resulted on the page note 1 the edit summary that was added by the contributor as well as other technical and diagnostic information some of the functions of this page that are labeled in numbers are the view history tab is highlighted and revision history is appended to the page name notice that you cannot make wikilinks to this extended page name to make a link to the history page copy the url from the browser address bar when viewing the history page and paste it between single square brackets external link format to make the link the history template can also be used the year and month fields allow a quick jump when the page has many revisions after entering a year and or selecting a month click the go button to the right the tag filter restricts the display to show only those edits that have been tagged by an edit filter for example references removed may be entered here after entering a tag name click the go button to the right the deleted only checkbox is only shown to administrators and others with the deletedhistory user right it displays revisiondeleted edits a line of links to external tools note 2 the available tools vary between wikis the line is made by mediawiki histlegend which can be edited by administrators these links take you to the most recent edits latest oldest edits earliest or the next or previous page of edits newer n older n note that the black text in brackets will become links when applicable the blue numbers list the number of edits displayed on a page 20 50 100 250 or 500 a higher number increases the length of a page but reduces the number of pages the number you select replaces n in the links to the previous or next pages e g newer 100 older 100 manipulating the limit term in the url lets you set this number as high as 5 000 cur takes you to a diff page showing the difference between that edit and the current revision the current revision appears below the changes so you can see how the page is now rendered prev takes you to a diff page showing the changes between that edit and the previous revision the most recent revision the one on the same line as the prev you clicked on appears below the changes so you can see how the page was rendered the two columns of radio buttons can be used to select any two revisions on the page the current selection is marked by a special background the two most recent revisions are selected by default when you first view the history that is why they appear framed and have a different background see the area below the label 6 let s say you want to compare the revisions corresponding to numbers 10 and 11 on the image first click the left radio button next to number 11 the right column of buttons will then fill as far as number 11 then click the right button next to number 10 finally click compare selected revisions this takes you to a diff page showing the changes between the two revisions the most recent revision in this case number 10 appears below the changes so you can see how the page was rendered this gives the time and date of the edit the time is utc by default at the english wikipedia registered users can choose date format and time zone at preferences appearance date format and time offset one format also displays seconds the date and time contains a link to that revision of the page thus the first line links to the revision that was current at the time of loading this revision history and therefore the result may differ from that of following the link on the page margin to the current revision even if the page has not changed in the meantime the mediawiki revision info edit talk history links watch logs appears the username temporary account name or for older edits the ip address of the contributor appears here m stands for minor edit the size of the page in bytes roughly corresponding to characters the difference in size between this revision and the previous revision a green number with a plus sign 1 864 indicates that the edit added this number of bytes roughly corresponding to characters to the page while a red number with a minus sign 29 indicates removal see more at wikipedia added or removed characters this is the edit summary it is the text the user wrote in the edit summary box below the edit box this edit summary begins with an arrow link and grey text this means the user has only edited a section of the page named in the grey text this text is automatically added when you edit a section the arrow links to that section of the current revision of the page and not the revision where the arrow was clicked a standard edit summary can be added by the user this appears in black text not shown in this example some edits may be automatically tagged by the abuse filter example tag reverted any tags applied appear after the edit summary tags cannot be added or removed manually and are intended to help editors identify potential problem edits for examination they do not prove that an edit is actually problematic also not shown in this example you can thank a user for their edit by clicking the thank button see wikipedia notifications thanks for more information it is possible to restore an old revision of a page by following the link to that revision clicking edit and then saving this should be done with caution as it means that all changes made to the page since the time of that revision will be undone in rare cases all or part of a page history entry may be shown in grey struck out by a horizontal line this indicates that information has been hidden from public view by an administrator see revision deletion and oversight for more on this searching and exporting histories the history page contains a link find addition removal this links to wikiblame a tool for searching the entire history of a given page another useful tool is the special export page which is used to produce an xml file with the wikitext of the current and optionally all old revisions of one or more specified pages with date time username and edit summary how the xml file is displayed depends on the browser it can also be saved locally for later searching and analysis for more information on this feature see help export the following may also be useful https xtools wmflabs org articleinfo index php a tool to sort the page history by editor and count the number of edits for each editor works for most wikimedia sites can also be downloaded for adaptation to other mediawiki sites meta community tech who wrote that tool a tool to highlight contributions by each editor on a page some page histories such as user talk jimbo wales are very long so that paging back even 500 results at a time cannot practically reach a date from several years ago it is possible to simply change the date yyyymmdd in the url in these cases https en wikipedia org w index php title user_talk jimbo_wales offset 20061215 142129 action history for example to get a listing of results going back from that date web feeds a link to an atom web feed for the history of a page is available from the lefthand toolbox this gives the diffs of the last 10 edits each with a link to the ordinary full diff page depending on the browser there may be possibilities such as sorting by author an rss version of the feed can be obtained by assigning to feed one of the parameters to index php available for a history page http www mediawiki org wiki manual parameters_to_index php history the value rss i e by replacing feed atom with feed rss in the atom feed link mobile version in the mobile version click last edited near the bottom of a page to see the page history registered users may also have a history link or icon at the top of mobile pages other parts of this page describe the desktop version of the site it looks different from the mobile version and has more interface features mobile users can switch to the desktop version by clicking desktop at the bottom of any page related issues moved and deleted pages when a page is moved renamed the entire edit history of the article before and after the move is shown the old title becomes a redirect and loses its edit history to view a history of only moves and no other edits go to special log move and input the name of the article in the target field if instead of a move the entire content was cut copied and pasted into a new substitute article the page history gets spread across two articles the histories can be merged in this case when two pages are merged typically one becomes a redirect in this case the revision history of the redirect is kept when a page is deleted its revision history remains in the database and can be retrieved by an administrator who can also undelete the page see wikipedia viewing and restoring deleted pages administrators can also remove selected revisions from a page history for example if they contain defamatory text for details see selective deletion image histories an image in the broad sense of an uploaded file can be edited or more generally be replaced by a different image by uploading a new image file with the same name again all revisions are kept the image history listing forms part of the image description page which appears when clicking on the image the image history consists of this and the old revisions themselves images which have been deleted from their source are only available to administrators not to be confused with images removed from an article but not from their source so the only record available is the upload log deletion log and possibly the votes for deletion archive only administrators can restore a deleted image without uploading it again linking to a specific revision of a page shortcuts h phlink h phlink wp oldid wp oldid wp pagehistlink wp pagehistlink it is sometimes useful to link to a specific revision of an article this is called a permanent link for example one might
