Editing Help:Diff (section)

=== <nowiki>{{Diff}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{Diff2}}</nowiki> ===
Using {{tl|diff}} or {{T|diff2}} is another approach of linking to a diff within Wikipedia, though it cannot be used in edit summaries. The general syntax is:
:{{tlx|Diff|<var>page</var>|<var>diff</var>|<var>oldid</var>|<var>label</var>}}
*{{para|<var>page</var>}}&nbsp;– The title of the page.
*{{para|<var>diff</var>}}&nbsp;– The ID or keyword that is used against the base ID. Possible keywords are:
**<kbd>cur</kbd>&nbsp;– compare with the current (latest) version of a page.
**<kbd>prev</kbd>&nbsp;– compare with the previous version of a page.
**<kbd>next</kbd>&nbsp;– compare with the next version of a page.
**<var>id</var>&nbsp;– This should be {{em|larger}} than <code>oldid</code>.
*{{para|<var>oldid</var>}}&nbsp;– The base ID onto which the diff is generated.
*{{para|<var>label</var>}}&nbsp;– Text to display as link. No label will give a numbered link.
*{{para|diffonly|yes}}&nbsp;– Shows only a diff and not the page content.  Parameter name required.

==== <nowiki>{{URL to diff}}</nowiki> ====

{{Tl|URL to diff}} takes a full diff URL and converts it to a {{Tl|Diff}} template. The template should be substituted, thus:

:<code><nowiki>{{Subst:URL to diff|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=100000001&oldid=123456789|label=relevant text}}</nowiki></code>
