This template create links to "[[meta:Help:URL#Old versions of pages|oldid]]s"; 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 [[Help:Page history|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 {{tlx|oldid2}}, which requires only the revision ID and can still construct a link.

== Usage ==
{{tlx|oldid|<var>page</var>|<var>oid ocrop</var>|<var>label</var>}}

{| class="wikitable"
! style="width:33%;" | code !! result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{oldid|Main Page|589841|Link to a 2003 version of the Main Page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{oldid|Main Page|589841|Link to a 2003 version of the Main Page}}
* The '''label=''' parameter (parameter number 3) should be the link text description (optional).
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{oldid|Main Page|589841}}</nowiki></code>
| {{oldid|Main Page|589841}}
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 2) should be the known revision number.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{oldid|Main Page}}</nowiki></code>
| {{oldid|Main Page}}(pretty useless)
* The '''page=''' parameter (parameter number 1) should be the name of the page.
* The '''oldid=''' parameter (parameter number 2) can be '''cur''' (or leave it empty) for the current version.
