7 Components: the Function Pages - Developers

Above and below the version list, you will find the button Compare
selected versions, with which you can compare the versions you
have marked to the smallest detail. The result is displayed on its own
page (see Fig. 3.4). On the left, the older version is shown, and on
the right, the newer one. Only those lines are displayed in which
modifications were made, whereby the text highlighted in yellow is
deleted data, and the green lines represent newly added text. Under
that display, you will find the newest of the two texts again in full.
If a page has been moved, that is, if its name has been changed
(see below), the entire history of the article before and after the renaming
is displayed on the history page, however the act of renaming
the article itself is not listed. This is only visible in the history of
the page with the old title.
One action often performed is reverting to an older version of an
article (e.g. due to vandalism), called a rollback. To do this, on the
diff page, open the version to which you want to revert. If you wish
to make that version the current article and thus undo all subsequent
versions, go to edit and then save page.
Note: The entries to the history page are not deleted; thus a subsequent
user could also roll back your rollback.
When you view an old page, you will see two arrows under the
heading with which you can jump to the previous or subsequent version.

Moving and Renaming
Sometimes it is necessary to rename a page, e.g. if the name has
been misspelled or does not comply with the stipulated conventions
for names, or if the scope of the article has changed. In this regard,
the terms “move” and “rename” mean one and the same, because
when you change the name of a page, links to that page, which are
generated using the name of the page, become invalid. Thus, the
page has been moved.
Open the page you wish to rename and activate the move tab.
You can enter the new name in the space provided. By clicking on
the Options field, you can also determine that the corresponding discussion
page be moved, as well. Once you have verified the move
by clicking the move button, the page is renamed and, at the same
time, the old page becomes a redirect page, i.e., all links leading to it
are automatically forwarded to the new page.
