You have to make an edit filter via Special:AbuseFilter (if the filter extension is enabled) that tags all edits. I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it non-accidentally through regex, but I've unfortunately only ever gotten it to happen on accident (because I've never had a reason to do it on every page). Two ways to do it that I can bring to mind without having tried it in practice:


 * would probably catch all edits since if you set it up to tag, it will tag any edit that has any text on the page. (It wouldn't catch edits that remove all text from a page, but a lot of those tend to be vandalism on most wikis in my experience.)
 * should tag any edit that is made in the article namespace (that is, it won't tag comments, wall posts, template edits, etc.).

You would put the code to determine which edits to tag in the conditions box.

The best way to keep the right text on old edits and still change the text when a new beta comes along would probably be to use a new tag each time. Editing an old tag would change the tag text that appears on old edits with that tag. So let's say you have a tag called "B29". If B30 came along, it'd be best to create a new tag called "B30".
