[Mediawiki-l] Marking Changes in MediaWiki Pages

[Norbert Hoeller]

Rob, what exactly is a 'full old version', how many does MediaWiki 
maintain, and how far back do they go?

Platonides, where is the "advanced watchlist" documented?

Frederik, that looks very close to what I am looking for, except that the 
inputs would be the current version vs. an older version (possibly 
selected by date) and the markup would be introduced into the normal 
MediaWiki page output (under control of the user).  That would allow me to 
very quickly home in on any changes in the page.
        Thanks everyone!
        Norbert
