Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Page history last and first

Wikipedia recently upgraded to a new wiki software version, but there is a feature that I had hoped would be in it.

Whenever you click on the history tab, there are several numbers at the bottom - 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, etc. that gives you the "results per page" feature. However, I really want a "last" and "first" feature - that is - I can hop right to the beginning of a page's history to see how it began as an article. That way, I don't have to press the "next 500" button over and over again to see the article's beginning.

Hope this will be in the next version of the wiki software. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 28 June 2005 20:18 (UTC)
