This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "oldids"; that is, links to old versions of a wiki page.

Every historical version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the history of the page, or from the URL of the old revision. Given a page name and a revision IDs of it, you can construct a link to that particular version.

Usage

{{oldid|1=page|2=oldid|3=label}}

Current default
{{oldid|1=Main Page|2=|3=Last revision of '''Main Page'''}}Last revision of Main Page
You can also use the named variables "page", "oldid", and "label".
{{oldid|page=Main Page|oldid=|label=Current version of '''Main Page'''}}Current version of Main Page
As long as the values do not contain equals signs, you can skip the variable names/numbers.
{{oldid|Main Page|cur|Current version of '''Main Page'''}}Current version of Main Page
code result
{{oldid|Main Page|202506579|Link to a numbered version of a page}} Link to a numbered version of a page
  • The oldid= parameter (parameter number 3) should be the known revision number.
{{oldid|Main Page|cur|Link to the current version of a page (pretty useless)}} Link to the current version of a page (pretty useless)
  • The oldid= parameter (parameter number 2) should be the word cur.
