In MediaWiki, revisions compared in a diff do not need to
belong to the same article. So for example, to compare the
current revision of...(488139) to the current revision of
...(505754), you can use the URL
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?diff=505754&oldid=488139
This is not as convenient (or obvious :-)) as your approach,
Is there a way to click into that, or do you just know the URL and
substituted the IDs by hand? How did you get the IDs of the two pages in the first place?
This kind of URL is not exposed by the UI (AFAIAA). I as-
sembled the URL by:
1. Going to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle,
"history", "Compare selected revisions" which gives
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle&...
(which means 488140 is the current revision (on the right
side of the diff)),
2. doing the same for
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jkurik/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle
which gives
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AJkurik%2FFedora_Releas...,
and
3. assembling the URL by removing the "title" parameter
(just for cosmetics), setting the "oldid" parameter to
the revision to appear on the left side and the "diff"
parameter to the revision to appear on the right side.
(Cf.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_index.php#View_and_re...
for documentation.)
