Version history

Some wiki implementations keep a record of changes made to wiki pages, and may
store every version of the page permanently. This allows authors to revert a page to
an older version to rectify a mistake, or counteract a malicious or inappropriate edit
to its content.[13]

These stores are typically presented for each page in a list, called a "log" or "edit
history", available from the page via a link in the interface. The list
displays metadata for each revision to the page, such as the time and date of when it
was stored, and the name of the person who created it, alongside a link to view that
specific revision. A diff (short for "difference") feature may be available, which
highlights the changes between any two revisions.

Edit summaries
"Edit summary" redirects here. For the Wikipedia help page, see Help:Edit summary.
The edit history view in many wiki implementations will include edit
summaries written by users when submitting changes to a page. Similar to the
function of a log message in a revision control system, an edit summary is a short
piece of text which summarizes and perhaps explains the change, for example
"Corrected grammar" or "Fixed table formatting to not extend past page width". It is
not inserted into the article's main text.

Navigation
Traditionally, wikis offer free navigation between their pages via hypertext links in
page text, rather than requiring users to follow a formal or structured navigation
scheme. Users may also create indexes or table of contents pages, hierarchical
categorization via a taxonomy, or other forms of ad hoc content organization. Wiki
implementations can provide one or more ways to categorize or tag pages to support
the maintenance of such index pages, such as a backlink feature which displays all
pages that link to a given page. Adding categories or tags to a page makes it easier
for other users to find it.

Most wikis allow the titles of pages to be searched amongst, and some offer full text
search of all stored content.
