Description Wikipedia:en:User:Paddu 2004-12-27 19:56:22 UTC For example, if http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake&diff=next&oldid=8858359 redirected (via an "HTTP moved temporarily" message) to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake&diff=8858359&oldid=8858338 it would be clear from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake&action=history which diffs were visited. This would aid in tracking diffs for vandalism (In large articles, just seeing the last few diffs might not help in removing all vandalisms). Comment 1 Nemo 2012-11-03 09:19:33 UTC Bad idea: the previous or next revision might be deleted and the meaning of the diff=(next|prev) would change. They're just two different features, IMHO.
