| Feb 9, 2014 at 1:19 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | The proposal to have a URL that displays a page as it appeared at a certain date is actually pretty reasonable; this could be written on top of the public data dump (with the exception of some deleted content, which is also removed from dumps, I think). Stripped down to a minimal idea this might deserve a separate thread. | |
| Feb 7, 2014 at 18:40 | comment | added | Mate Kosor | @François G. Dorais In no. 2 I was thinking about a visual interface like that on top of www.archive.org, or slider of some kind. One of your links returns page not found, the other gives all the revisions but not how the page looked like at the time of revision. This is pointed out in the question. On the other hand, the question does speak about how peeple cite MO and about how a proposed solution would help them in the future. This is why I included no. 5 and 6 in the answer. They show how the intent behind the question (easy citing to historic MO state) would be materialized. | |

| Feb 7, 2014 at 18:16 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | 5/6. I'm not sure what you mean here. We have no way of controlling how users cite MO. | |
| Feb 7, 2014 at 18:15 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | 1. This is in place. In fact deleted content is always visible to users with 10k points. 2/3. Is this or this what you have in mind? | |
