Currently (2010-10-28) DokuWiki lacks possibility to give you annotated history of a page.

This is script I wrote in 30 minutes to give me idea who edited which line in page.

It extracts each page with meta from dokuwiki and commits to git with modified metadata, so you could use “git annotate” to see who edited which line and when.

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
# This is my version to quickly get blame to a dokuwiki page.
#
# it extracts each page from dokuwiki and commits to git
# and then you can use git itself to do blame.
