User:Nardog/MoveHistory

Disentangling all the moves a page has gone through can be quite a hassle. So let this script do it for you. It adds the link "Move history" to the Tools section of the sidebar, which opens a dialog. For example, looking up the move history of Anne Hathaway (wife of Shakespeare) will show you something like this:

Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare's wife) → Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) → Anne Hathaway Shakespeare → Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) → Anne Hathaway Shakespeare → Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) → *H E Ŗ M EE? → Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare) → Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare's wife) → Anne Hathaway (wife of Shakespeare)

Installation
Add the following to your common.js or global.js:

Or you may enable the script installer in and click "Install" in the infobox on this page.

Limitations

 * Moves within merged history appear like any other, resulting in the target of one move and the source of the next (or the current name) not lining up.
 * A move will not be detected if:
 * it was made before late June 2005;
 * it was the first edit since the date specified in "Since";
 * the user or edit summary in the history or move log has been hidden;
 * there was a server latency between the revision and move log entries longer than one minute; or
 * the namespace prefix has been changed since the move.
