Most wikis doesn't even have their "wiki history" page and it's not likely that a wiki contains every single part of its history from the beginning to the present.

Imo, I don't think it is worth the effort since it's only a few users and their few questions that want they know about. Even the new users doesn't seem like they need of a "wiki history" page. Besides, knowing that a history page looked like, some users go TD;LR even though it's summarized as much as possible.

Problems include some of the history that are personal among some users, which shouldn't be added in to the "history" if it were to have one (looking at you, some users).

Also, imo, creating one would make the wiki worse if users are getting "anxious" that some of their actions that they regret that got recorded on the "wiki history", even if such actions aren't personal. Hence, some users may get the "cringe" from some of "their actions" being recorded or in a worst case scenario, do something even worse to the wiki.

Managing a "wiki history page" would also be difficult. Imagine if we get the a thread stating that "only staff can edit the official wiki history page" or maybe even rules for "the wiki history" page. The latter one may cause even more debates especially if a rule about "adding/removing dramas" and some users may think it's "censorship" about removing some parts of the "wiki history".

TL;DR: Imo, it's just best that this wiki doesn't have a "wiki history" for the sake of not making things worse. There would be users requesting to "add something" that like personal that is wrong to begin with like "non-wiki but user related dramas" if it were to exist and even possible debatable threads regrading the content of the "wiki history", especially content related to "dramas" occurred in this wiki across the years.

Also, it's better to keep it "unofficial", making it "official" will make things complicated.
