I hope that this is the right issue queue. I noticed that the Documentation Edit "explain your changes" is presented as a WYSIWYG html field so I felt it justified to use a HTML link there. But in revisions the link is not displayed. So either the Revision view is displayed wrongly or the field should be plain text.

Also, I don't understand what the value of this issue Version field should be.

Title: Revisions are not WYSIWYG » Add link from revision log to each comment

Like any Drupal site, Drupal.org uses a bunch of modules, including this one. 7.x-1.x is currently the version of this module we’re using.

The “explain your changes” text is primarily used on the discuss page, like https://www.drupal.org/node/1497296/discuss. This is meant to allow for as long of a description as needed.

The revisions page, https://www.drupal.org/node/1497296/revisions, is made by diff module, using core’s “Revision log message” property. That’s not meant to contain HTML, and the rendering with diff module does not look easily alterable.

Since having people fill out both fields would be redundant, we copy some of the “explain your changes” text into the revision log, #1979556: Do something Special(tm) with the revision log property if the node uses nodechanges.

While changing the revision log message on output doesn’t look practical, we could append a link to the full comment, by altering the diff_node_revisions() form.
