Following up on the recent great improvement: the addition of fixed path for two latest revisions
( http://drupal.org/node/239056 )

Suggestion:
A block that could be set to offer the user to choose which view (using views module) to use, and for each node title returned by the view, it changes the links so that the node titles are shown, but linking to their respective node/*/revisions/view/latest pages instead of to the nodes themselves.

That would be very useful for moderation.

PS. Preferably, it should be possible to create more than one such block:
We could then be creative and set up various views/workflow-related blocks for various groups of people, each with a specific view filtering and sorting nodes for the target audience. The blocks would then use their visibility settings to determine where which block/view should appear (and to whom).

Title: Block with node links going to their revisions/view/latest (views based) » Views field with link going to revisions/view/latest

It is a good idea to add such a View field. I hesitate though because we are trying to get diff into core and Contrib features will confuse the issue.

Yes, the most important should be to get basic functionality for diffs in core, then other modules can provide the extras.

Not sure if there are any moderation-related or views contrib modules that could be a relevant "host" for such a feature instead of diff, especially after diff is in core. How "certain" is it that diff could be accepted into core, and what could be the time frame for that?

d5, feel free to reopen if there is still a valid need in D7

is there any other module where this would fit better on D7?

...(using views module)...

So, #641480: Expose diff functionality to views.

I would also like to echo from #1 from 4 years ago, "we are trying to get diff into core". This is still valid and needs help.

Fairly trivial view, not worth including imho.

i.e.

1) Create a field listing
2) Add nid (Exclude from display) and title fields. nid must come before title.
3) Rewrite the title field

Export of a working example attached.
