Viewing Edit History
Game, character, and developer entries all provide an edit history entry point, visible to everyone.
Each history record includes:
- Editor's avatar and username
- List of fields modified (shown as tags)
- Edit note (if provided — click to expand)
- Edit timestamp
- Edit record number (e.g.
#123)
If a record has been undone by an administrator, it will show a red Undone badge. If a record is itself an undo operation, the title will show Undid #number, referencing the original record.
Change Comparison
Click a history record to expand and view the specific changes:
- Text fields: Character-level highlighted diff between before and after content — green for additions, red for deletions
- Relations (covers, images, developers, characters, etc.): Separate lists of added and removed entries, along with a before/after comparison
Undoing Edits (Administrators)
Administrators can undo any edit in the history that has not already been undone. Click the Undo this edit button on a record, select the undo mode in the dialog, and confirm.
Strict Mode
Undoes only the target record without touching other edits.
- If a later edit modified the same fields, the system detects a conflict and refuses the operation
- Enabling the Force option bypasses conflict detection and forces execution, but may cause data inconsistencies — use with caution
Best for: recent edits with no dependent follow-up edits.
Cascade Mode
Before undoing the target record, automatically undoes all conflicting follow-up edits in reverse chronological order, then undoes the target itself. The entire process runs in a database transaction to ensure atomicity.
Best for: older edits that have dependent follow-up edits that need to be cleaned up together.
Undo Record Entry
After a successful undo, the system writes a new record to the edit history labeled Undid #number, and marks the original record with an Undone badge, forming a complete audit trail.
Each edit record can only be undone once.
