Forum:Add link to Revision History from a Diff

In the Oasis skin, when one is scrolling through diffs, as far as I can tell, there is nothing one can click on to then jump directly to the revision history. In my own case, I’ve added History link to the floating toolbar at the bottom of the page. But, I want to provide a way for Oasis users who have not added such a button to their floating toolbars to get to the history quickly. Ideally, I think that it should be on a dropdown list on the edit button that appears when looking at a diff (here’s an example diff). I’m pretty sure that this can be done with some clever javascript coding. Any ideas? Thanks! — Spike Toronto  07:45, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. This is not an issue with those of us who use the Monobook skin since the history tab remains visible at the top of the page when viewing a diff. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  07:45, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this bugs me also. When I get some time, I'll work up a JS thing to add back a history link on the diffs page assuming you can't just add something to a MediaWiki: page. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 6 Jun 2011 1:40 PM Pacific


 * In the meantime, the only bandaid solution is to add a History link to the floating toolbar at the bottom of the page, as I mentioned above. I look forward to what you can come up with! I bet it might be something as simple as adding a few lines to MediaWiki:Wikia.css to establish and locate the button. Or, would it require JavaScript? See how little I know about this stuff!

 * It may not require JS, but it would almost definitely not be added with CSS. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 6 Jun 2011 3:00 PM Pacific


 * See! That’s why I rely on the CSS/JS expertise of others. — Spike Toronto  Jun 6, 2011, 6:46PM EDT

Any luck with this? :) Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  05:43, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

 UPDATE : I just discovered something odd about this. Some wikis actually do have a Back to page link for returning to the article when viewing diffs. See the following: Contrast those with this This is very comparable to the Back to page issue discussed at Forum:Add "Back to page" to Revision History. Any ideas, thoughts?
