Bug Description

Sometimes I want to link a specific version of a page, like this:

http://upstream.openlibrary.org/works/OL362709W/Hamlet?v=11

But now a big revert button has appears on these pages.

Can we have a way to link to specific versions of pages without a big revert button?

I think it is a design issue.

We can change that button to "Your are viewing revision 6 of /works/
OL1W. <a ..>revert to this revision</a>?"

2 things:

- I'd suggest we add a "Link to this revision?" link that pops up a box with the URL in it
- I think it's OK to have a revert button on all older views of a page... is it just that it's too prominent, or something? It's certainly important to indicate clearly that it's an old version, AND that it can be used to replace the latest one.
