As I think I mentioned earlier, each wiki now has two date stamps, one up top (creation date, I think, which is sometimes a random 1969 or 2069(?) date) and one at the bottom (last edit). I dont remember that being the case before.

The combination of no yellow background, tiny font, and wikis sometimes being hidden seems to be causing a rash of new members to ask "where's the wiki?"

Forget if this has been mentioned previously, but indented bullet points are no longer indented if they appear below the "show more" link
Example thread:

Here's what it looks like when editing:
Here's what it looks like when viewing, after clicking on "show more"
Note that the bullets under DTW are still indented, but HND and JFK etc. are not.
It's also still doing the thing where the editor adds a blank bullet point to the last list in the wiki whenever you click "Edit"

Perhaps I just missed an announcement & am the last to realize, but FYI wiki history is back (or maybe just never went away but was hidden from us all). As noted by mia elsewhere, the last edited by line at bottom left links to edit history.
At first blush, the compare-versions feature seems to be an improvement: edits are interleaved & smartly color-coded instead of being presented side by side (which didnt wrap long lines & was therefore not very useful). It remains to be seen how well this works on long/complicated wikis.

Has the history been re-broken?

I get this
(i.e. nothing, really).
The only way I get something is if I do this
and then I don't believe that what it reports is correct
partly because if I tweak it to this
it appears to be the same result
which seems similarly unlikely.

wiki won't show or expand to show the whole wiki for this thread., when viewed on Windows desktop
it *IS* viewable on Android.
only way to view it is to click "print" button next to the HIDE button, and it switches over to an AOL-looking 90's version of flyertalk style to show the contents.
VERY weird

Weird that it won't show the whole wiki. In particular the same questions as are answered in the wiki keep getting asked by new posts, hence the wiki exists, but it's frustrating if people can't see the obvious answers some of us put in the wiki
