MoveHistory Description Lists the past moves a page has gone through Updated January 27, 2024 Browsers Chrome, Firefox, etc. Source
Disentangling all the moves a page has gone through can be quite a hassle. So let this script do it for you. It adds the link "Move history" to the Tools section of the sidebar, which opens a dialog. For example, looking up the move history of Anne Hathaway (wife of Shakespeare) will show you something like this:
Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare's wife) Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) Anne Hathaway Shakespeare Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) Anne Hathaway Shakespeare Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) *H E Ŗ M EE? → Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare's wife) Anne Hathaway (wife of Shakespeare)
Add the following to your common.js or global.js :
mw . loader . load ( '//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Nardog/MoveHistory.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );
Or you may enable the script installer in Preferences → Gadgets
Moves within merged history appear like any other, resulting in the target of one move and the source of the next (or the current name) not lining up.
A move will not be detected if:
it was made before late June 2005;
it was the first edit since the date specified in "Since";
the user or edit summary in the history or move log has been hidden;
there was a server latency between the revision and move log entries longer than one minute; or
the namespace prefix has been changed since the move.
