Template:Page history

This template is similar to Template:Last edit except that on every save edit info is added.

To start it up on a page, put

<ul style="display:none">{{subst:page history|}}</ul>

Extras compared with the regular page history:

• wikitext, so it can be edited

Extras of the regular page history:

• edit summaries
• diff feature

Other differences:

• the template gives signatures, the regular page history gives plain, official user names, with links to talk page etc.
• the time zone is fixed in the template (UTC); the regular page history uses the user-dependent time zone
• while the date format is dependent on user-preferences in both cases, the regular page history adds seconds in the case of ISO 8601 format, while in the template it is fixed whether seconds are displayed (currently not)
