| Description | As a new feature, please consider adding a "View Changes" or "Version History" type functionality to the Wiki+. Ideally, this would let users with the appropriate privilege be able to:
1) Click a "View Changes" type button on each Wiki+ 2) See a list of all (or a default number of) versions of Wiki+ page, including the user who made the changes and the time/date that the new version was created. 3) The user could select any 2 versions of the page and click a "See Changes" button 4) The system displays original content from the oldest version that is still present in black 5) The system displays original content from the oldest version that has been deleted in red 6) The system displays content that is present in the newest version that has been added since the older version in green. This will make the Wiki+ massively more usable IMO as it will allow people to see what changes have been made as the content evolves, as well as who made them. |

If you go to edit the page, you'll see the revision history is there. This satifies '2'/'4'/'5'/'6' (except '6' is via bold not green).
1-- Put on separate UI (probably as a filter on the global change-log history activated by the button you speak of). 4 hours.
3-- Add a facility to compare any arbitrary two revisions. 2 hours.
I'd actually question if '3' is needed. I always found this slow and confusing on Wikipedia, I'd think the tooltips are more intuitive, much quicker, and give you what you need.
There is a wider discussion that we eventually would like to add universe revisions to all of Composr. Eventually the code for revisions will probably be generalised and moved into a new shared subsystem.
