    Helpful tip for the future is to use the article’s permalink to link to that specific version in history or better yet use an archive site or use your browser to save a complete local archive of the page.

          Yeah because me saving a personal copy of everything I come across online, like a digital version of my grandma post great depression, definitely helps out everyone across the planet trying to access that important, easily accessible information for the first time today and absolutely addresses the actual underlying problem instead of tech bro mindset of always blaming the user for dumb design decisions causing harm because unscreened morons working for free to serve capital is cheaper

            Comrade I get that this pisses you off and I'm right there with you and agree with your take at the top of this exchange. but the bookmarking the revision history of an article is genuinely useful. They're also pretty easy to browse. They still exist. What year were you doing your doctoral? 2015 for example? Then go to the last revision from 2015 of said article and bookmark that. It's not hard. Every article on there has a blue link at the top that says "version history." There's no reason to be rude to someone for their helpful suggestion. It doesn't make you a "grandma" or whatever. Anyway, if your grandma archived shit from the great depression, more respect to her.

              When the articles are merged with a different topic as a redirect the original is gone forever

                well that's a bummer. I'm sorry that happened. Sometimes when they're merged I think one of the articles maintains the original version history but I'm not 100% on that.

            It actually does. All online content is ephemeral. It would take maybe a dozen datacenters getting bombed to take down all of wikipedia. I personally have multiple copies of wikipedia in different languages stored locally in my computer. Literally takes up less space than a AAA videogame.
