This template creates links to "oldids"; that is, links to old versions of a wiki page. It then labels those old versions the current one, unless you've supplied both the name of the page and the oldid.
Every historical version of a page has a revision ID, which you can find from the links on the history of the page, or from the URL of the old revision. Given a page name and a revision IDs of it, you can construct a link to that particular version.
If you only have the revision ID and not the page name, consider using {{oldid2}}
, which requires only the revision ID and can still construct a link.
