New function: `wp_get_post_revisions_url()`

[georgestephanis]

There's no good way to get a link to revisions for a given post short of trying to build it manually. Feels like it would be a useful utility function for core.

Patch and unit test attached.

[iaaxpage]

Hey George, wouldn't this be more of a feature request than a bug?

[georgestephanis]

Arguably. Changed to enhancement.

[adamsilverstein]

This still seems useful, reopening for consideration.

[davidbaumwald]

@adamsilverstein Is this still on your list for 5.4?

[garrett-eclipse]

Note: from our bugscrub review this will need a refresh to add @since to the new function and @ticket to the unit test

[davidbaumwald]

This ticket still needs a refresh and testing, and with 5.4 Beta 1 landing tomorrow, this is being moved to Future Release. If any maintainer or committer feels this can be included in 5.4 or wishes to assume ownership during a specific cycle, feel free to update the milestone accordingly.

Also marking for a dev note as it at least deserves a small call-out on the Misc Dev Note.

[adamsilverstein]

I wasn't able to spend time on this for 5.4, I'll get it in early in the next cycle!

Revisions: Introduce wp_get_post_revisions_url() to get the URL of the revisions screen for a given post.

I agree this would be a nice-to-have.

39062.1.diff refreshes the previous patch against trunk and fixes some issues in the docblock.

The patch works fine on my side.

To test it, simply open your theme's files then go to the template file of your choice and add this line:
<?php echo wp_get_post_revisions_url( get_the_ID() ); ?>
It will display the URL to the revisions screen for the current post.

Moving for 5.9 consideration.

wp_get_post_revisions_url() gets a link to revisions for a given post.

The PR looks good on my side. Unit tests are passing and look relevant to me.
Marking this for commit consideration.

In 52095:

Revisions: Introduce wp_get_post_revisions_url() to get URL for editing revisions.

There's now a way to get a link to a given post's revisions. Introducing wp_get_post_revisions_url() and its unit tests.
