While editing content for MaxDB Wiki here in SDN I wondered how I might return to a older version of the page.
Unlinke e.g. MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/ the WIKI engine behind Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) in the SDN Wiki there is no tab bar "Versions".
Instead one finds the "Info" tab bar, which brings up a page with quite handy tools:
As you see there are different information boxes. The upper left one not only summarizes the most important document data, but also provide a tinyurl function which is very useful to reference to a specific page in the WIKI.
Using this funtion a link like https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/MaxDB/Introduction+to+the+MaxDB+Optimizer
becomes
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/Oyw
Nice, isn't it?
Beside this, there is also a infobox about the most recent changes of the current page available.
This 'Recent Changes' box in turn has a link 'View page history' which lead us to the complete page history. From there one can compare two version of a page or restore a older version of the page:
As you see, the standard WIKI features are there - one 'just' has to know where exactly...
Best regards,
Lars
p.s. while where at it: if you're interested in MaxDB you really should give the WIKI a try. It's available at https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/MaxDB - I mean https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/gjc :-))
