Some of our wiki topics are heavily used. I’m currently tracking down the date of a particular edit and it’s quite tedious having to click through one by one. It would be nice to have a “Go To Edit #” button/box. Maybe the (current\<-\>rev) text could be clickable?

A very niche power user feature, but might be #pr-welcome.

When you click it, what should happen? Small input modal pops up that lets you enter the revision number you want to jump to?

An explicit button and modal is probably simplest, but it could happen inline, with the input box replacing the current number.

This is totally outside my skillset btw 🙂
