<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE --><br />
<br />
This template is intended to be useful for creating links to "[[Help:Diff|diffs]]"; that is, links to pages that show the differences between two versions of a wiki page.<br />
<br />
Every version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the [[Help:Page history|history]] of the page by looking at the link for the timestamp, which is of the form:<br />
http[s]://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SomePageName&oldid=442212827<br />
The number after <tt>oldid=</tt> is the revision ID.<br />
<br />
Unlike {{tl|Diff}}, this template does not require the page name, and provides a diff between a specified revision ID and the one immediately before it (i.e. what changed at a certain ID). Unlike {{tl|Diff2}}, this template does not have a section name parameter.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
:{{tlx|Diff3 |''oldid'' [|''label'']}}<br />
*<tt>''oldid''</tt>&nbsp;– The base ID onto which the diff is generated.<br />
*<tt>''label''</tt>&nbsp;– (optional) Text to display as link. No label will give a numbered link.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Code<br />
! Output<br />
|-<br />
| {{tlx|Diff3|123456789}}<br />
| {{Diff3|123456789}}<br />

| {{Diff3|123456789|SomeUser's edit to "Some article name"}}<br />

[[User:HersfoldArbClerkBot]] depends on this template's arguments remaining in the same order. If you edit this template in such a way that the arguments change order or meaning, please let [[User talk:Hersfold|Hersfold]] know as soon as possible. Thanks!<br />
