I can't find a way how to access diffs of course pages. History page of one cswiki course is not listing diff links. When I open some old version (say, this one) and try to use that link on lišit (It may _differ_ significantly from the current revision.: It should normally show the difference between that old version and current one.) I get some other diff (in this case, the diff of Main page).

Maybe these corrupted links are caused by trying to see diffs in EP namespace. Can you please add the support of diffs for course (and institution) pages?

Tracked in Bugzilla
Bug 45623

For now, the only way to view diffs for course pages is to go to "view history" and then click the "undo" or "restore" links. That will show you the difference between versions.

Thanks for pointing it out. But, well, spotting the difference is scarcely an easy task in this case, with so many links at one spot :D . Regards

Yes, it's a problem, one of many ways that course pages don't behave as much like normal wiki pages as they should. We may be able to fix it in the next couple of months, or it may be something that we can't fix until editor campaigns is mature enough to replace the current course pages.

We have found a way around it: the course page under EP is just transcluding the subpage of our Wikiproject "Students write Wikipedia". See w:cs:Wikipedie:Studenti píší Wikipedii/Marketingové aplikace (2013/2014) and the source of w:cs:Education Program:Vysoké učení technické/Marketingové aplikace (2013-2014). There are now at least two courses on cswiki using this technique.

Good. We use a similar workaround on en.wiki. At least now (as of last week) users can edit the main text region of course pages.

By the way, Utar, you may wish to sign up for the education program technical updates: m:Global message delivery/Targets/Wikipedia Education Program technical updates.

Thanks, I will do so.

I have added this workaround to documentation so other projects can find it more easily.
