[edit] Deleting part of the history of a page?

I would like to delete part of the page history of a page in my user area. I plan to subsequently move the page into a regular article (preserving the rest of the history of the page). Can anyone help me? The article is User:Ksheka/Staging, and I would like to delete everything before March 18, 2007. Ksheka 13:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

You should try WP:Requests for Oversight, but be aware that this action will not be performed lightly. You need a very good reason, such as edits containing personal information, or libelous BLP violations. --Thinboy00 @038, i.e. 23:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How to get at an uploaded file's date

I'm working with a company designing its own wiki, and we're facing a sticky point ...

We have many internal company documents, and want to get at a doc's latest update, i.e., when was Image:User dino.jpg last updated? When was the annual report last changed? And that data on interest rates ...

Is there a way to "grab" these data & display them? Or just grab them — we'll figure out how to display them.

I realize, this may seem from left field, but thought I'd toss it out there. Thanks for any ideas. You may reply here or on my talk page.

[edit] The "undo" field in a history line

What is the purpose of the "undo"? How could one undo a revision other than the last? (I dare not click on it, for fear of actually undoing a revision.)

Arie ten Cate (talk) 22:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The "undo" link will not undo edits in one click. See Wikipedia:Undo for how it works. If you click on it, you will see a page similar to the page you get when clicking "edit this page," but with the revision removed. In some cases (e.g. when others have edited the content added by the contribution) it will not work. --Thinboy00 @035, i.e. 23:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing page history

The beer article is missing all of it's page history before December 13, 2001. Does anyone know why this is or know who I should ask about it? Is there any way to retrieve the first few edits to the page? Thank you. Jecowa (talk) 04:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Navigation

Couldn't we make navigating page histories easier? It's already problematic that it's very difficult to get any feel for what is happening without inspecting each edit closely, but surely we could make it easier to view page histories in large blocks. If a page has more than 500 edits, all you can see is 'next 500'. You don't know if there are 501 or fifty thousand. Can't we at least have a "This page has had received X edits since it was created on X day". Better still, couldn't there be a small 'menu' like option where one could choose from edit blocks to view, e.g. Show the numbers 1 to 7 so the browser can choose a block of 500 to pick from, rather than having to press 'back' 6 times to get to the first 500 edits? Or at least a 'skip to first edit' function, if this is too difficult. Richard001 (talk) 06:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Link to page version comparison

Hello all- I hope this is where to make a suggestion for this help page. I think it would be helpful to add, under the section titled Linking to a specific version of a page, a note informing users that the way to make a wikilink to a version comparison is to make an external-style link using the comparison page's url. Hope I'm making sense. I think it would also be good to put this info somewhere in the help area that deals with wikilinks. I eventually found the guidance under Help:Link#External_links_to_the_same_project, but it took me a while and the method for making such a link is only implied there, as opposed to the instructions being specifically stated. I made this same post on the talk page of the master copy of this help page at meta. Thanks. -Eric talk 19:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
