Older page revisions use new versions of files

Post by Remilian »

I was trying to look up some 1.0\1.1 circuit info on the wiki for an old playthrough. I looked at older revisions of Circuit network cookbook, but they all use new versions of all files. File:SR-04-SRLatch.png is a good example: newer 2025 version does not apply to 1.0 at all as it includes 2.0 features, but post-2025 version of the file is the one visible on pre-2025 revisions of the cookbook page. I would expect old revisions to use old versions of files\images automatically, but that does not seem to be the case.

(I cant provide specific revision link as an example due to current history access limitations. This happened a couple months back)

Unfortunately this is how the wiki software works and not something we can easily address. You should be able to access the previous images via the file page you linked.

(You can bypass the history access limitation by creating an account, though we're also looking into relaxing it as far as possible without impacting performance due to DDoS attacks.)
