I'm not quite sure what you're asking for here.
At the bottom of the page, you can see the last date the wiki page was
edited. And, each page has a history link which would let you see each
time the page was edited.
If you want more than that, you might want to think about building
yourself a routine to help you edit the page.
For example, you can retrieve the wiki source for a page using code
along the lines of:
require'web/gethttp'
locs=: I.@E.
snap=: I.{[
innerhtmls=: {{
opens=. 1+('>' locs y) snap ('<',x) locs tolower y
closes=. ('</',x) locs tolower y
y {L:0~ opens (+ i.)each closes-opens
}} L:0
editurl=:
{{'https://code.jsoftware.com/mediawiki/index.php?action=edit&title=',y
}}
wikisrc=: {{ rplc&('<';'<';'&';'&');'textarea' innerhtmls '-sL'
gethttp editurl y }}
SRC=: wikisrc 'User:Ewart_Shaw/Utils'
Then manipulate it as you like and copy and paste the final version
back into a logged in edit session.
(Here, innerhtmls is more elaborate than is needed for this particular
purpose, since there's only one textarea on a wiki edit page. This is
because I also use it to extract table structures from the html source
of a wiki page: >L:2 'td' innerhtmls 'tr' innerhtmls 'table'
innerhtmls rawhtml)
((And, it's less elaborate than would be needed for arbitrary html
content. While it's fine for typical wiki content and content where I
have some control, it does not deal with some cases involving html
comments, nested spans, selecting by a class name or id, etc. ..
Hypothetical cases are all fairly straightforward to deal with, but
most of them are more complex than my current needs call for.))
