Wikis: View the History of Changes to a Page

Every time someone makes a change to a page in a wiki, the Wiki tool saves a copy of that page in the history. You can compare different versions of a page to see who made what changes and when those changes were made. You can compare two specific versions of a page to each other, or see all the changes made by a specific author of the page.
