Navigating page histories with thousands of edits is really annoying. I can't find any way to speed the process up, by jumping farther at a time or even getting to the very beginning or back to the very end of a page history. I haven't been able to come up with a great solution myself, so I only pose the problem here.
Topic on Extension talk:RevisionSlider
Hi @Florian Blaschke,
thanks for your feedback I created a ticket on Phabricator so we can keep track of it and we might consider it for future versions.
One further remark: I am not sure what your specific use case is here but skipping many revisions could probably better be done on the history page and when you found the area your looking for you could switch to the diff view and start using the RevisionSlider there.
Thanks again and best,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
it did occur me afterwards that using the normal history is an obvious workaround, but I think it should be easier within the RevisionSlider too.
Thank you, anyway!
