I was thinking here. What if you could name and
address every
version of an article, e.g. ...
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Radio/12
That already works. The format is:
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=&revision=
For instance, revision 770 of HomePage is
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=HomePage&revisio…
It would be trivial to configure
wikipedia.com to translate a flat URL
like Lars suggests so it returned the requested revision. The only
problem today is that old revisions are purged. (HomePage only goes
back to #709 on October 5, for example.)
How 'bout it, O beneficent and philanthropic owner of the database
(Jimbo)? Would you be willing to disable the purge of old revisions?
Seems to me mostly to be a matter of disk space.
