Created attachment 8670 [details] On English Wikipedia history page (latest|earliest) can easily be replaced with (newest|oldest) to be consistent with (newer 200|older 200).
As a note, this can be changed on a per wiki basis by editing [[mediawiki:histfirst]] and [[mediawiki:histlast]]. Personally I'm unsure if the change is a good idea, but don't have any strong opinions.
Oldest/newest is how Gmail does it. Yahoo just has arrows.
