Located along the top left of the page, the history tab allows you to see all edits that have been made the page. Each edit in the history will be accompanied by:
- the date/time each edit was saved,
- who made each edit (shown as a link to a personal page for a logged-in editor and as an IP address for anonymous editors) followed by links to this editor's talk page and contributions, and
- an edit summary of what the particular edit modified.
To view a particular version of a page select a date/time (what the page looked like at that time), and to compare what was changed between any two edits select the two corresponding dots and click "Compare selected versions."
Easy access to this same idea is also available from RecentChanges, where all edits to the wiki are logged. (hist) lets you quickly view a wiki page's activity. (diff) lets you quickly see the latest individual difference in the history versions.
