Evolution and evolvability (talkcontribs)

Is there any tool that will link to an old version of a page when just given a page and date (no oldid)?

Alternatively, is there any tool that can calculate an oldid when given a page and a date?

Thanks for any ideas!

It may be possible with Extension:Memento, however that extension seems to use HTTP headers with that, with no visible user interface (unless you install a browser extension)

As @Ciencia Al Poder said other than the Memento Extension there really aren’t any options. Also browser extension options are very limited and most do not work very well. MediaWiki is not really designed for this type of thing. Sorry.
