Some musing about next steps following this PR:

> I have to say I find it a bit odd that the changes aren't shown when looking at a specific version - it actually took me a while to find out how to trigger this to the extent that I was putting in debugging code to try and find out why it didn't seem to be working!

I experienced this too, but I think it’s a symptom of a broader issue. The history and version pages have distinct headings, but the tops of the pages still look roughly the same. I think moving the breadcrumb and pagination bar to the top of the page would address this confusion. It would be more convenient now that the two pages contain substantially different content (diffs on one, wiki previews on the other).

I also wonder if we should have a separate page for diffing two specific versions. Most of the time, when I link to a single version, the snapshot in time is more interesting than the changes from a previous version. But sometimes I want to call attention to the changes affecting a particular element in a particular changeset. Or I want to compare the cumulative effect of multiple revisions in a row, for example to determine whether a revert was complete or not.

To be clear, I don’t think these ideas would block the current PR by any means.
