-==Archiving==
-Archiving texts in separate pages is superior to using the page history as archive:
-*"What links here" works for archive pages, but not for old revisions.
-*Texts in archive pages can be found by search engines. For content which is only in a  revision history the possibilities are limited. (However, for a popular site like the English Wikipedia there are a few tens of mirror sites; how recent the copies are varies, so searching for some specific old content search engines may find it on some of them.)
-*Archive pages can be organized and titled afterwards in a suitable way, while e.g. edit summaries can not be supplied afterwards. However, an index of old versions of a page, with links to them, could be prepared.
