"Show History" for "About" tab/section of groups and My Profile

Edit this Page

Problem:

Just encountered the need for this as one of the group member misedit the "About" tab's "About" section.

 

Solution:

If we have the "Show History" link and can revert to previous revision, there'd be less worry of someone mistakenly erasing the content.


Further Discussion:

Should there be one too for user profile page's "About" section? I think so. This one of course, should only be visible to the user him/herself like the "edit" link.

Thanks Honore. Didn't realize that "histories" can relate to performance as the database grows.

Hmm, I'll have to check into this.  I wasn't here at WiserEarth when the decision was made to see what type of content would have history revisions to revert to, so there might be reasons why we didn't do it for user profiles and groups.  I do know that it will take up a good amount of memory as the database grows and "histories" are saved, so I will have to see if there will be a performance issue.
