This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "diffs"; that is, links to pages that show the differences between two versions of a wiki page.
Every version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the history of the page by looking at the timestamp link for the edit. The timestamp link is in this form:
http[s]://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SomePageName&oldid=442212827
The number after oldid=
is the revision ID.
Given one or two revision IDs, you can construct links to several types of diffs.
Usage
- {{Diff
|title |diff |oldid |label |diffonly=yes}}
title
模板:SndsThe title of the page (optional in most cases)diff
模板:SndsThe ID or keyword that is used against the base ID. Possible keywords are:oldid
模板:SndsThe base ID onto which the diff is generated.label
模板:SndsText to display as link (optional)模板:Nsmdnsno label will generate a numbered link as the label.|diffonly=yes
模板:SndsDisplays the page comparisons only (optional)模板:Nsmdnsparameter name required if used.
Only the diff parameter is required; all other parameters are optional. Omitted parameters must be empty (by using a double pipe). You can also use the named parameters title
, diff
, oldid
, and label
.
Helper subtemplate
In order to make this template simpler to use the helper subtemplate {{Diff/translator}}
is available, to be used only in the preview window.
- Syntax
- {{Diff/translator
|label |url=diff URL}}
For instance, imagine you want to refer to the following diff URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=139993&oldid=139992&diffonly=1
; you only need to transcribe that URL in the {{Diff/translator}}
subtemplate and produce a preview, without saving the page:
- {{Diff/translator
|Sic exorsi sumus |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=139993&oldid=139992&diffonly=1}}
Now copy the code generated (模板:Diff/translator
) into the edit window where {{Diff/translator}}
was and publish the page.
Examples
Below each example in the left-hand column is the pseudocode for that example in 模板:Font color
and indented. Elements that should be entered literally are in 模板:Font color
. When a parameter is left blank, the resulting two adjacent pipes are underlined (but not bolded): 模板:Font color
.
