VersionHistory

Keep a history of older revisions of pages, allow to see how the page looked like before and revert to that version.

Page history is a very important feature of a wiki, as it not only protects against vandalism and accidental slip ups, but also encourages user participation by providing a safe working environment – effectively introducing an “undo” function.

There are several ways to implement VersionHistory:

• KeepPages
• InfiniteVersioning
• RevisionControlBackend

How the versions work can be also affected by other features:

• CollateEdits
• MinorEdit
• CategorizedEdit

VersionHistory makes it possible to implement a number of other features:

• RevisionDiff
• RollBack
• DelayedCommits
• StagedCommits
