Page metadata

From The Scuba Wiki

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 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.
