When filing a phab task with some new bug, you always want to know - is it really new, or I just did not pay attention to it before?
What's the purpose of this information? If it's a bug, new or not, a ticket needs to be filed.
And when I do know it's a new bug, I can open both versions
in the same time, and compare the behaviour for this bug. And also, compare the console results - what exactly changed in html, in css, in js commands reactions.
I agree that information will save some developer time but at the same time this information is not so easy to gather. This is helpful when the users have some working knowledge of how developer tools work and how to compare file changes. Usually in each version there are a lot of new changes. Often it's not easy for developers even to find out what could be causing the bug.
I can easily imagine such a wiki quickly falling into disuse.

It can work. But another Monday. I mean, if Tue-Wed-Thu there is a deployment of version ....5, a day before, Mon there is a deployment of version ....4, so starting from tomorrow, group 0 will get a way to see both version, exactly from the beginning, but not until the end, for 6 days, group 1 for 5 days, and group 2 for 4 days. And from Monday to the deployment, 1-2-3 days, there will not be use of this. I'll be very glad if it will be decided to do this, and if so, it will be a good thing to add to the text of how to report a bug in phabricator help, something about, you can check if it is a regression, the last version "falt", by comparing with this new wiki. I can thing about many dozens of tasks I wrote and read where this information could be useful, if added at the first place. Hope you decide this indeed. Thank you very much, Igal

No non-emergency deployments on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. Monday could work.

It wouldn't be hard to do at all, technically. I imagine it'd be
something
like a test3wiki.
Main thing to know is when do we cycle off of the old version? When
the
version goes out on Tuesdays? That day's already pretty loaded for
software
moving about...

Making your case here is probably best. The release engineering
team
are
the people you probably have to convince, although of course anyone
could
potentially create such a wiki, in an unofficial way.
Keep in mind that keeping an older version of the software running
does
introduce a maintinance burden, so you will probably have to
convince
people that it would be regularly useful and not just useful this
one
time.

Thank you. Sorry to hear this. Is there some place I can suggest
this
and
explain why do I think it can be very helpful? Igal
