version number is not passed in Wiki 'Edit this page' button

[jon@…]

I'm using SVN head/trunk as of right now.

1. View a wiki page with revision history.
2. Go to Page History
3. Click on a prior version of the page.
4. Click 'Edit this page'.

It should bring up the prior version of the page in the edit dialog. Instead it brings up the latest version.

Workaround: add &version=ID to the end of &action=edit

Solution: add a hidden input field with the version number.

Thanks for taking a look at this issue.

Maybe you should elaborate on what you're trying to achieve here, as editing an old version is not really a trivial operation.

Are you willing to modify that old version itself, i.e. changing the content associated to that version? That would actually break the very notion of tracking all editing changes …

Are you willing to take that old content as a basis for creating a new version? If so, have you considered the option to delete the last versions? Also, currently there's no support for storing that "branching" operation. It's possible that future versions will implement that (especially in the context of "distributed" content), but that's not a trivial thing to do.

This is the intended behavior, and for the reasons cboos described editing an old version is not practical at this time. I think we can close this ticket for now.
