Page Histories
- General:
- Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/HistoryCount – user script that specifies the number of history entries on the history tab (without the script, 50 entries are shown when the tab is opened)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Six tabs – adds a history tab (and an edit tab) for the page that is paired with the page that is visible
- User:Ixfd64/revision sizes – revision size visualizer written in R
- watcher - shows how many people watch a page (if more than 30)
- Wikipedia:Wiki2VCS - script that loads histories onto one's computer, so that they can be quickly diffed and searched
- Diffs:
- User:Superm401/Compare link.js – makes the "compare selected versions" button into a link (diffs can be in new windows, tabs, etc.)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Changes since I last edited – adds a tab that does a diff between the editor's last edit and the current version of a page
- MediaWiki talk:Monobook.css/Archive 4#Better rendering for .diffchange in diffs
- User:Cacycle/wikEdDiff – user script – additions and deletions are highlighted by color in one continuous text
- User:Stevage/EnhanceHistory.user.js – Collapses consecutive edits from the same person into one, integrates (shows) diffs on the history page
- User:DerHexer/revisionjumper allows easier navigation of a page's history, generating diffs between arbitrary revisions or time periods with just a few clicks (Signpost description)
- Finding the responsible editor:
- WikiBlame – searches for given text in versions of article
- Soxred93's Article Blamer – similar to WikiBlame, identifies revisions that added given text
- User:AmiDaniel/WhodunitQuery – Windows application that identifies the edit and user who added a specific word or phrase
- Contributor edit counts and analysis:
- userhist – user script, adds interface elements for isolating a user's changes to a page.
- Contributors – lists edits, similar to page history, but can be sorted by contributor; easy to exclude different groups
- User contribution search – finds all the edits by a user to a single page
- Page history statistics by user:aka – builds an edit history overview page
- Intersect Contribs – compares the edits of two editors in any Wikimedia Foundation wiki to see which articles overlap
- Wikistalk – similar to Intersect Contribs, allows comparisons between more than two users and namespace selection, works only on the English Wikipedia
- Editor Interaction Analyzer, shows the common pages that two editors have both edited, sorted by minimum time between edits by both users. Only works on the English Wikipedia.
- Visualization:
- IBM History Flow tool History Flow Visualization Application
- Wikipedia Animate – user script; shows the evolution of a page, like a webcast
- WikiEditsGraph – user script; shows two graphs: edits/time & edits/user in a graphical overlay

Famous quotes containing the words page and/or histories:
“A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“All histories do shew, and wise politicians do hold it necessary that, for the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare themselves so to be when occasion is offered.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
