Page metadata

'''This page might be obsolete.'''

Apart from the source (the content itself) the data about a current or old version of a page are as follows.

The '''edit metadata''', the [[en:Metadata|metadata]] of the edit that resulted in the particular version, are:

*first or not
*minor or not
*date and time
*name of page
*username or IP
*edit summary

Other data about a page are:

*protected or not
*internally:
**id (for old versions these are shown in the URLs of page history links)
**for current version only:
***redirect or not
***viewing counter (disabled)
***which pages link to which
***which users watch which pages

Note that there is some redundancy for efficiency: also clear from the content are:

*whether a page is a redirect
*which pages link to which

See [[en:Wikipedia:Edit summary#Places where the edit summary appears]] for lists of edit metadata.
