 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Diff2. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "diffs"; that is, links to pages that show the differences between two versions of a wiki page.
Every version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the history of the page by looking at the link for the timestamp, which is of the form:
http[s]://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SomePageName&oldid=442212827
The number after oldid= is the revision ID.
This template does not require the page name, and provides a diff between a specified revision ID and the one immediately before it (i.e. what changed at a certain ID).
Usage
{{Diff2 |oldid [|section] [|label]}}
- oldid – The base ID onto which the diff is generated.
- section – (optional) The section (anchor) within the page.
- label – (optional) Text to display as link. No label will give a numbered link.
If 3 parameters are specified (i.e. parameter {{{3}}} exists), parameter {{{2}}} is the section, and parameter {{{3}}} is the label. Otherwise, parameter {{{2}}}, if present, is the label (and the link is to the whole page).
(Consequently, specifying a section but no label can be achieved by leaving the label blank save for its pipe character, as in the fourth example below.)
Examples
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
{{Diff2|123456789}}
|

{{Diff2|123456789|SomeUser's edit to "Some article name"}}

SomeUser's edit to "Some article name" |
{{Diff2|123456789|External links|SomeUser's edit to "Some article name"}}
|
SomeUser's edit to "Some article name" |
{{Diff2|123456789|External links|}}
