[SOLVED] [Wiki] Recover a deleted page
The "ABS_FAQ" page has been cleared. Is the information from that page still available somewhere? I don't intend to resurrect it, it just had some information in it that isn't in the current "ABS" page.

If you hit the 'history' link you'll see all the revisions. The one with the biggest negative number (i.e. characters removed) is probably where to start

Search the wiki for ABS FAQ and click on "Redirected from ABS FAQ" at the top of the page. Then you can just select history and view any revision.

You can just add '&action=history' to the old url: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … on=history

Alternative: &redirect=no.
Result. Then just click on the History button.
Edit: ops, just realized this was a small necrobump. Sorry for that.
