Gitlab 13.1 - Hackdot

Version control for GitLab wiki is still not there. Supposedly it will be in 13.2.

For a small shop using GitLab local install versioning of the systems/software/lab protocols documentation is something hard to live without.

Hey GitLab Wiki PM here!

We do have an issue scheduled in 13.2 for Wiki diffing. However this still won't allow you to revert a change but will visually help you see the diffs line by line (just like in MRs):

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15242

(FYI that issue is a community contribution so I can't guarantee it will ship in 13.2, but we'll try!)

I'm sure you're aware, we also have git versions of the wiki in the UI: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/#viewing-the-hi...

Can you tell me more about your use case for versioning?

Sorry for the late reply.

Few features (apart from be able to view wiki diffs) from my point of view:

1. Wiki edits in activity

2. User wiki edit history (= edits times, pages, size of diffs)

Maybe in a long run it will be good to have Markdown based collaborative document editing. Meaning that each editor can branch the draft doc, introduce changes. Then these branches will need to be reviewed and merged, probably by 1-2 people.

Hope it helps
