Description

Edits have a diff link, but for new pages there is no easy way to see what the page was created with without needing to look through the history. Doesn't apply when results are grouped by page and there are subsequent edits to the page

Hi, @DannyS712. Please consider a possibility to use special:diff/<page creation revision>, to make the entry format the same for all pages.

Hi, @DannyS712. Please consider a possibility to use special:diff/<page creation revision>, to make the entry format the same for all pages.

I use diff= and oldid= in the urls because sometimes the diff needs to be for multiple combined edits, so it would (at least) need to account for that

I'm talking about using it for new pages too.

I'm talking about using it for new pages too.

Yes, and I'm saying that I'm not sure if I should "make the entry format the same for all pages" because different pages' links have different needs. We'll see

Please do. The current format is very inconvenient.

Notes to work on this later:

  • Does not apply in fast mode
  • Does not apply when there are multiple edits grouped together
  • Not sure if it applies if there are no subsequent edits to the page being shown (i.e. if the only thing is the creation, the current version should be the created version)

So, only show when there are multiple edits, and they are not grouped together, instead of the diff link
