This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "[[Help:URL#Old versions of pages|oldid]]s"; that is, links to old versions of a wiki page.

Every historical version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the [[Help:Page history|history]] of the page, or from the URL of the old revision. Given a page name and a revision IDs of it, you can construct a link to that particular version.

== Usage ==
'''{{oldid|1='''''page'''''|2='''''oldid'''''|3='''''label'''''}}'''

;Current default:'''{{oldid|page='''Main Page'''}}''' → {{oldid|page=Main Page}}

;You can also use the named variables "page", "oldid", and "label".:'''{{oldid|page='''Main Page'''|oldid=|label='''<nowiki>Last revision of '''Main Page'''</nowiki>'''}}''' → {{oldid|page=Main Page|oldid=|label=Last revision of '''Main Page'''}}

;As long as the values do not contain equals signs, you can skip the variable names/numbers.:'''{{oldid|'''Main Page'''|589841|'''<nowiki>Old version of '''Main Page'''</nowiki>'''}}''' → {{oldid|Main Page|589841|Old version of '''Main Page'''}}

;You can link to a specific section (named anchor) as usual by passing "#" and its name as part of the '''page''' parameter (see [[WP:ANCHOR]]).

{| class="wikitable"
! style="width:33%;" | code !! result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{oldid|Main Page|589841|Link to a 2003 version of a the Main Page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{oldid|Main Page|589841|Link to a 2003 version of a the Main Page}}
* The '''label=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the link text description (optional).
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{oldid|Main Page|589841}}</nowiki></code>
| {{oldid|Main Page|589841}}
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the known revision number.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{oldid|Main Page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{oldid|Main Page}}(pretty useless)
* The '''page=''' parameter (parameter number 1) should be the name of the page.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 2) can be '''cur''' (or leave it empty) for the current version.

* {{tl|diff}} uses a similar approach to create links to [[Help:Diff|differences]] between versions. The simplest way is to use the {{tl|oldid2}} template.
