Is there a way to generate an automatic, time-sensitive page history without sending users to the history page to choose the versions they want to compare? We are looking for a way to provide a page change summary - for example, something that shows the changes made to a page in the last 24 hours - that does not require any user input or action (other than navigating to/viewing the page) to create.
Thanks, Matt

You could easily send them to the last change appending &diff=cur to the URL. For more complex diffs, you need at least one revision id.
