Template:Oldid/doc

This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "oldids"; that is, links to old versions of a wiki page.

Every historical version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the history of the page, or from the URL of the old revision. Given a page name and a revision IDs of it, you can construct a link to that particular version.

Usage
&#123;&#123;oldid|1=page|2=oldid|3=label&#125;&#125;


 * Current default:&#123;&#123;oldid|page=Main Page&#125;&#125; &rarr;


 * You can also use the named variables "page", "oldid", and "label".:&#123;&#123;oldid|page=Main Page|oldid=|label= Last revision of Main Page &#125;&#125; &rarr;


 * As long as the values do not contain equals signs, you can skip the variable names/numbers.:&#123;&#123;oldid|Main Page|589841| Old version of Main Page &#125;&#125; &rarr;
