            Bug ID: 50985
           Summary: Allow 'naming' of a single revision to add a subtitle
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: History/Diffs
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

Individual historical revisions often have significance:  as the outcome of a
compromise, the version of an article that became a Featured Article, one of
two options in a significant format switch.   

It is often useful to link back to those historical revisions.  It would be
even more useful to have a short description of what the revision is.   When
you aren't looking at a diff, the edit summary isn't evident.  And often the
edit summary isn't directly about that revision but part of a running
commentary throughout the history flow.  

An additional field in the revisions table for a subtitle(?), that would show
up under the title - perhaps in a different color - would address this.   But
any way to make a title or brief description visible at the top of the screen
would be excellent, and would make the strengths of permanent revisions even
more useful.
