A diff shows the differences between two versions of a page on Wikipedia. A version of a page is created every time someone clicks on Save page after changing it. This version is called "revision". Each revision has a time and date when it was made. This is written in the history of the page. A diff lets you see what changed between two revisions of the same page.

There is a link to see the diff for every change in the page's history, in the user's changes, in new changes and in watchlists.

Example

This is how a diff looks like. A diff is useful because it makes it easier to see what changes have been made. It also allows to undo the change, or click on various links, for example to put a message in the talk page of the user who made the change.

(Edit summaries in diffs are great)
