 <h3>Explanation of How Revisions are Managed</h3>

 <p />

 <a name="h2" />

 <h4>Introduction</h4>

 <p />

  Every time you edit a page a new revision is created. To view all revisions of a page simply click on the

 <u>View other revisions</u>

  link below each page. You can always go back to a previous revision by simply choosing that revision, edit it and save it.

 <p />

 <p />

 <a name="h3" />

 <h4>Revisions</h4>

 <p />

  Looking at the address bar of your browser you can see the name of this

 <ow:link name="WikiPage" href="ow.asp?WikiPage" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Wiki Page</ow:link>

 . When viewing a previous revision of this page you'll see the URL looks something like this:

-<pre>

 <a href="http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=HelpOnRevisions&revision=2" class="external" target="_blank">http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=HelpOnRevisions&revision=2</a>

 </pre>

  clicking on this link would show revision 2 of the page Help On Revisions.

 <p />

 <p />

 <a name="h4" />

 <h4>Difference</h4>

 <p />

  To show the changes between revisions of a page you can use the following parameters to control the output:

 <p />

-<ul>

-<li>

 a : must have value

 <tt>diff</tt>

 </li>

 <li>difffrom : the first revision to consider (default is 0)</li>

 <li>diffto : the last revision to consider (default is the current revision)</li>

 <li>diff : type of difference (default is 0)</li>

-<ul>

 <li>0 = show difference of previous major revision relative to diffto</li>

 <li>1 = show difference of previous minor revision relative to diffto</li>

 <li>2 = show difference of previous author edit relative to diffto</li>

 </ul>

 </ul>

  E.g.:

-<ul>

-<li>

 <a href="http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=OpenWiki&a=diff" class="external" target="_blank">http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=OpenWiki&a=diff</a>

 </li>

 <br />

  shows the difference from prior major revision relative to the current revision.

-<li>

 <a href="http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=OpenWiki&a=diff&diff=2&difffrom=3&diffto=9" class="external" target="_blank">http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=OpenWiki&a=diff&diff=2&difffrom=3&diffto=9</a>

 </li>

 <br />

  shows the difference from prior author revision where only revisions 3 to 9 are taken into account.

 </ul>

 <p />

 <p />

 <a name="h5" />

 <h4>Recent Changes</h4>

 <p />

  When editing a page you can use a checkbox labeled "Include page in

 <ow:link name="RecentChanges" href="ow.asp?RecentChanges" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Recent Changes</ow:link>

  list.".

 <p />

  If you check this box and save the page then the page will be marked as a "major" revision and will show up in the default listing of

 <ow:link name="RecentChanges" href="ow.asp?RecentChanges" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Recent Changes</ow:link>

 .

 <p />

  If you uncheck this box and save the page then the page will be marked as a "minor" revision and not show up in the default listing of

 <ow:link name="RecentChanges" href="ow.asp?RecentChanges" date="2005-05-02T12:00:00+01:00">Recent Changes</ow:link>

 .

 <p />

  It is possible to view all recent changes including minor edits, or even to view only minor edits and no major edits. The parameter

 <tt>filter</tt>

  is used to control this aspect:

 <p />

-<ul>

 <li>filter=1 : show only major edits (is the default)</li>

 <li>filter=2 : show only minor edits</li>

 <li>filter=3 : show major and minor edits</li>

 </ul>

 <p />

  Other parameters to control the recent changes output are:

 <p />

-<ul>

-<li>

 days : show only recentchanges of the last

 <tt>days</tt>

 </li>

-<li>

 max : show a maximum of

 <tt>max</tt>

  recent changes

 </li>

 </ul>

 <p />

  E.g.

 <a href="http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=RecentChanges&days=60&max=30&filter=3" class="external" target="_blank">http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?p=RecentChanges&days=60&max=30&filter=3</a>

  shows a maximum of 30 recent changes in the last 60 days, showing major and minor edits.
