:This is a proposal for preventing edit wars over two disputed versions. - VeryVerily

If you (or someone else) are involved in a conflict between two different versions of page, instead of reverting to the other version you can insert this notice at the top and drop in the ID # of the alternative version, which will allow the reader to view both independently. This should be a temporary measure while the dispute is being resolved on the discussion page.

To use this template, insert the syntax

:{{twoversions|version#}}

where version# is the seven- or eight-digit ID # from the page history of the other version.

This will create a notice that looks like this:

align=center class="TwoVersions" style="background: #cceeee; border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: .2em; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 95%; width: auto;" | style="padding-right: 4px; padding-left: 4px;" | Image:Twoway-sign.png | There is presently an editing dispute over two versions of this page. One version is below; you may also view the [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|oldid=5637089}} other version] or the [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|diff=0&oldid=5637089}} difference] between the two. Other versions are in the [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=history}} page history]. Please do not revert to the other disputed version unless it is decided on the discussion page that this should be done.
