This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "[[Help:Diff|diffs]]"; that is, links to pages that show the differences between two versions of a wiki page.

Every historical version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the [[Help:Page history|history]] of the page. Given a page name and one or two revision IDs, you can construct links to several types of diffs.

== Usage ==

'''{{diff|1='''''page'''''|2='''''diff'''''|3='''''oldid'''''|4='''''label'''''}}'''

;Current default:'''{{diff|1='''Main Page'''|2=|3=|4='''<nowiki>Last revision of '''Main Page'''</nowiki>'''}}''' → {{diff|1=Main Page|2=|3=|4=Last revision of '''Main Page'''}}

;You can also use the named variables "page", "diff", "oldid", and "label".:'''{{diff|page='''Main Page'''|diff='''cur'''|oldid=|label='''<nowiki>Last change to '''Main Page'''</nowiki>'''}}''' → {{diff|page=Main Page|diff=cur|oldid=|label=Last change to '''Main Page'''}}

;As long as the values do not contain equals signs, you can skip the variable names/numbers.:'''{{diff|'''Main Page'''|'''cur'''||'''<nowiki>Last change to '''Main Page'''</nowiki>'''}}''' → {{diff|Main Page|cur||Last change to '''Main Page'''}}

* The '''diff=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the larger revision number.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the smaller revision number.

| {{diff|Main Page|prev|204901573|Diff between a numbered version and the previous version}}
'''This is the form that would be used most often.'''
* The '''diff=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the word '''prev'''.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the known revision number.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{diff|Main Page|next|204901573|Diff between a numbered version and the subsequent version}}</nowiki></code>
| {{diff|Main Page|next|204901573|Diff between a numbered version and the subsequent version}}
* The '''diff=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the word '''next'''.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the known revision number.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{diff|Main Page|cur|204901573|Diff between a numbered version and the current version of a page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{diff|Main Page|cur|204901573|Diff between a numbered version and the current version of a page}}
* The '''diff=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the word '''cur'''.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the known revision number.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{diff|Main Page|cur||Diff showing the most recent change to a page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{diff|Main Page|cur||Diff showing the most recent change to a page}}
* The '''diff=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the word '''cur'''.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be missing or empty.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{diff|Main Page||204901573|A link to a numbered version of a page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{diff|Main Page||204901573|A link to a numbered version of a page}}
* The '''diff=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be missing or empty.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the known revision number.
* The result is not actually a diff, so this might be considered misuse of the template. See the {{tl|oldid}} template.

* {{tl|oldid}} simplifies the case for linking to a known old version.
