This template creates a link to a specific time within a page's history and n-1 ''more recent'' edits. It accepts the page name, the number of edits to display and the date and time of the oldest edit displayed (which occurs at the ''bottom'' of the output).  Time is in UTC.

If you want to reference from the top of the history displayed use {{tl|history3}}.

=== Usage ===

{{History}}

{| class="wikitable"
! Code
! Output
|-
| {{tlx|History2|<nowiki></nowiki>|2}} 
| {{History2||2}}<br/>
The default is the [[Help:Variable|SUBJECTPAGENAME]], for use on talk pages.
|-
| {{tlx|History2|Main Page|12|Main Page history|200807301912}}
| {{History2|Main Page|12|Main Page history|200807301912}}
|-
| {{tlx|History2|Main Page|12|<nowiki></nowiki>|200807301912}}
| {{History2|Main Page|12||200807301912}}
|-
| {{tlx|History2|Main Page|12|you can make the date/time more readable using pipes|2008|07|30|1912}}
| {{History2|Main Page|12|you can make the date/time more readable using pipes|2008|07|30|1912}}
|-
| {{tlx|History2|Main Page|12|... or utterly confusing, if you prefer|20|0|8073|<nowiki></nowiki>|01912}}
| {{History2|Main Page|12|... or utterly confusing, if you prefer|20|0|8073||01912}}
|}

When splitting the date/time into several parameters for better readability, make sure that month, day, hour etc. still have two  digits each, using leading zeros if necessary.
