[Typo3-dev] sys_history and versioning

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi Sebastian,

sys_history should not be extended with what you suggest in my opinion -
at least I don't plan it. But it should rather support fields with
external media which is still doesn't (for instance if you remove an
image).

If neither sys_history or versioning is perfect for your wiki I suggest
to implement your own version management for the wiki tables.
