On the user edits page, there should be a button to see the edits the troper did to a page, even the cut ones. That way, it'd be easier to see an edit without having to go through a long edit list, and it'd also be useful for tracking spam, cutting pages, and seeing why perma-redlinked pages are perma-redlinked. Who agrees that we should have this?

The current "Edits by troper" tool does show edits to cut pages. Are you talking about diff links?

But not what they actually PUT on cut pages. It just shows that they made an edit to the page, not what they actually edited.

Well, if a page is cut typically one is not supposed to see their previous edits. Also, unfortunately our page histories are not so sophisticated to include diffs and per-edit links.

Well you should update the system, especially with this new website design.

Any updates to the history functions will probably have to wait until we do the database overhaul for 2.0. There's no point it writing a whole new set of code for them now.

Um, why?

Mods have access to more detailed history data, anyway. There's no point in making the history of cut articles public.
