One version number for all wiki pages

[team@…]

Would be nice to have one version number for all wiki pages, just like SVN has one revision number for all files in repository. Every change (no matter what wiki page is changed) will increase this number. Thus we will be able to track history of changes easily. And we will be able to see the entire wiki-base as a consistent storage of information.

If the goal is to be able to track history easily, wouldn't it be better to store wiki pages in a VCS, then? I thought we had a ticket for that already, but the only one I can find right now is #1465. I'm sure Christian will step in with the right reference, though :)

(OT: Auto-preview is broken, the ticket_preview.html template is missing. My bad, added in [10637].)

The goal is to get an ability to say: the product complies to wiki-SRS ver. 123. Now it's impossible to do.

Wiki-in-VCS is a good idea, but I remember that it's a long discussion with no real result so far.. Maybe this change can be made faster.

(OT: teo updated, auto-preview works again.)

Yep, the right reference is #1132, and TracDev/Proposals/WikiStorage. Without a proper VCS backend, I don't see how a global revision number could be made to work easily. It would be easier to finish what I started in … (damn, didn't push that branch yet…) in log:cboos@generic-wiki-storage.

I'm not sure it's worth pursuing the goal to have a global change number for the "traditional storage" (in [0f7c80568139/cboos]'s speak). If this requirement is really important, then switch your wiki storage backend to a VCS backend (I'll resume the work on that branch "soon").
