Restore direct wiki 'history' link

[Emmanuel Blot]

We are really missing a feature in the trunk version of Trac: the lack of direct access to the history of a Wiki page.

For us, the "Last Change" link is never used, but it seems this is the only way to get the history of a wiki page.
It would be nice to provide a direct link from any wiki page to the history of this page.

Getting the diff from the previous version of a page and browsing the history (i.e. the comments tied to each change) of a page are two different features, and one should not depend on the other.

IMO, what was really useful with those changes was the ability to go directly to the changes from the timeline. Then, for the Last Change vs. History, it's a matter of personal usage pattern. Ideally, we'd need the two links, so that everybody is happy ;-)

We could do so without cluttering the interface if we replace Index by Title and Index by Date by Index (TitleIndex), and from there have a link to the RecentChanges page.

Patch on r5675 adding the History navigation link and replacing the Index by … ones by an unique Index link

Slightly different patch applied in r5685. Let's try out this solution.

Replying to cboos:

Yes, that was the idea (restoring, not replacing).

We could do so without cluttering the interface if we replace Index by Title and Index by Date by Index (TitleIndex), and from there have a link to the RecentChanges page.

Seems fair.

I'll try the changes. Thanks (a lot) for the fix.
