User:Evad37/TimestampDiffs

TimestampDiffs (source) adds a link at the end of every comment to the diff in which it was added.

The link is added to the timestamp that the MediaWiki software adds when you sign your name with ~~~~, and styled with a dotted blue underline. Occasionally multiple edits result in the same timestamp; in such cases the link will show the difference of all those edits to the version from before that time.

Even more infrequently, a link might not be found for some timestamps. The most likely explanation is that either it is from more than 25000 edits ago, or it was added manually instead of using ~~~~, or it was modified in a later edit.

Installation

To install the script, add this line to your common.js:

{{subst:lusc|User:Evad37/TimestampDiffs.js}}

Usage

The code runs automatically on talk pages, and on pages in the Wikipedia: namespace. There may be a short delay while the script loads revision data and adds the links.

Hover over the link to see the edit summary of the diff (or the number of edits, if there were multiple edits at that time).

Click the link to view the diff.
