We want source and temporal provenance for anti-vandalism purposes
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Author: jasonspiro4

Description:
I and others would love an extension that provided source and temporal
provenance as suggested at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Provenance#Proposals_for_provenance .

Here's what I envision: When you click "History" on an article, you see:

  • first, the old-fashioned history,
  • below that, the provenance view (marked up in 3 colors and with author names

so as to provide both source and temporal provenance),

  • and at the bottom, a little disclaimer that the provenance view is for

anti-vandalism purposes only and cannot be used to determine authorship
information for GFDL compliance purposes.

Any objections?
