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.
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
Every version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the [[Help:Page history|history]] of the page by looking at the link for the timestamp, which is of the form:
http[s]://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SomePageName&oldid=442212827
The number after <ttkbd>oldid=</ttkbd> is the revision ID.
 
Unlike {{tl|Diff}}, thisThis template does not require the page name, and provides a diff between a specified revision ID and the one immediately before it (i.e. what changed at a certain ID).
 
== Usage ==
:{{tlx|Diff2 |''oldid'' [|''section''] [|''label'']}}
*<ttkbd>''oldid''</ttkbd>&nbsp;– The base ID onto which the diff is generated.
*<ttkbd>''section''</ttkbd>&nbsp;– (optional) The section (anchor) within the page.
*<ttkbd>''label''</ttkbd>&nbsp;– (optional) Text to display as link. No label will give a numbered link.
 
If 3 parameters are specified (i.e. parameter <nowiki>{{{3}}}</nowiki> exists), parameter <nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki> is the ''section'', and parameter <nowiki>{{{3}}}</nowiki> is the ''label''. Otherwise, parameter <nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki>, if present, is the ''label'' (and the link is to the whole page).
 
(Consequently, specifying a ''section'' but no ''label'' can be achieved by leaving the ''label'' blank save for its [[pipe character]], as in the fourth example below.)

You can use the following text in place of "Diff2":
[[User:HersfoldArbClerkBot]] depends on this template's arguments remaining in the same order. If you edit this template in such a way that the arguments change order or meaning, please let [[User talk:Hersfold|Hersfold]] know as soon as possible. Thanks!
