Wiki Help Editing The Wiki  Page History

Every editable page on FamilySearch Wiki has an associated page history, which contains links to all previous versions of that page's wikitext, as well as a record of the date and time of every edit, the username of the user who made it, and their edit summary. This may also be referred to as the revision history or edit history. To access the page history, click the "history" tab at the top of the page.
