This is a documentation subpage for Template:Oldid (see that page for the template itself). 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 "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[edit source]
{{oldid|1=page|2=oldid|3=label}}
- Current default
- {{oldid|page=Main Page}} → Current version of Main Page
- You can also use the named variables "page", "oldid", and "label".
- {{oldid|page=Main Page|oldid=|label=Last revision of '''Main Page'''}} → Last revision of Main Page
- As long as the values do not contain equals signs, you can skip the variable names/numbers.
- {{oldid|Main Page|589841|Old version of '''Main Page'''}} → Old version of Main Page
