what works
This works, though I wonder what is the effect of the "User Sandbox" template:

Okay, we just need the "New section" template ... could the report problem have been upper vs. lower case? Or maybe it was just entered as one word instead of two? Or something else?

Not sure why the "new section" documentation states:

... not recommended for use on a user page, but can be used in a sandbox. Fabrickator (talk) 19:46, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

use diff template to display diff of an article
Here's example of wikilink to diff between two revisions of an article:

change type to "Reciprocal inter-insurance exchange":

I don't like the way this displays, I don't know what I should be doing differently to get this properly displayed.

This is the best I can do so far.

Here are the

commented link to version of page being edited
It occurs to me that when editing a page, it would be helpful to easily get to the revision which included the prior version of the content being edited (commonly, a citation).

I will save a version before adding the code in order to help demonstrate how it works.

So here it is (of course, you must "view source"):. Or for our purposes here, we add in the "not commented out" version: Special:Diff/1051515492. Is there an existing template that will expand to do this, or can somebody create this? Fabrickator (talk) 00:31, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
