Forum: NGINX How to view Nginx wiki history?

For example, this page: http://wiki.nginx.org/WordPress

In the Google cache:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cac...

It contains the following lines:

 >> # include the "?$args" part so non-default permalinks doesn't break
when using query string try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
 >> try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

But it was removed in the latest version of wiki:
http://wiki.nginx.org/WordPress


Sometimes we want to know why they are changed, and when they have 
removed.
Anyone mind to explain?

You should register an account to view the history:
http://wiki.nginx.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin

That really sucks. Can it be configured differently to allow
non-authenticated users access to page histories?

As we're on the topic of historic documentation across a versioned
piece of software like nginx, I'd like to put in a plea here for
something to be worked out to expose the mapping of config directives
to the version in which they were introduced, or when their behaviours
changed - in a *structured* format.

IMHO that's a really major documentation flaw in both the wiki and the
official documentation, as the inline notes about version
applicability are both sparse and not formalised/structured at all
usefully.

Non-authenticated users actually have access, but there is no link
provided.  E.g.

http://wiki.nginx.org/index.php?title=Main&action=...

In official documentation we've introduced formal <apperead-in>
tag, e.g.

http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx_org/xml/...

Though in more or less nontrivial cases like new directive
parameters and so on - inline notes are unavoidable.
