BetterHistory is a small Javascript extension for Wikipedia that allows you to smoothly view past article revisions. It's only a beta version, but I like it already. So there's that...

The current version is 0.6, released June 21, 2005. (changelog)

Requirements
BetterHistory should run on all the Wikimedia projects, with small modifications. It does require a MonoBook-based skin.

It has been confirmed to run on the following platforms:


 * Windows XP: Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 1.0.4, and Opera 8.

How to Install
document.write('<\/script>');
 * First, check this page's history to make sure you aren't installing something else by mistake.
 * Start a new page at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Your Username/monobook.js
 * Cut and paste the following code into that page:

Hosting the script
It is possible to cut-and-paste all of the code, but by linking to it, upgrades are automatic. This is a list of places where you can download the BetterHistory code. If you want to host these files too, list yourself below.
