Template:Undo/doc
![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Undo. It may contain 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 "undo" diffs. Note: not all revisions can be undone. Use this template with care.
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]://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=SomePageName&oldid=442212827
The number after oldid=
is the revision ID.
Given a page name and two revision IDs, you can construct links undo diffs.
Usage

page
– The title of the page.oldid · undoafter
– The base ID onto which the diff is generated.diff · undo
– The ID or keyword that is used against the base ID.label
– Text to display as link. No label will give an "undo" link.
