Diff (added in MW 1.23) is a special page that allows users to create internal links to revision comparison pages. Such links are a little slower to load compared to normal difflinks using index.php parameters, but easier to type and they work in some places where external links do not, e.g. edit summaries.
Usage
[[Special:Diff/1242287]]
→ Special:Diff/1242287 – Shows the diff to the previous revision of the same page.[[Special:Diff/1242287/prev]]
→ Special:Diff/1242287/prev – Shows the diff to the previous revision of the same page.[[Special:Diff/1242287/next]]
→ Special:Diff/1242287/next – Shows the diff to the next revision of the same page.[[Special:Diff/1242287/cur]]
→ Special:Diff/1242287/cur – Shows the diff to the current revision of the same page.[[Special:Diff/1242286/1242287]]
→ Special:Diff/1242286/1242287 – Shows the diff between the specified revisions of the same page which may also be reversed, e.g.[[Special:Diff/1242287/1242286]]
→ Special:Diff/1242287/1242286, though one should avoid this.
These links may be used in the edit summary as well as adapted like any other internal links, e.g. [[Special:Diff/1242286/1242287|see this diff]]
→ see this diff.
