The "find edits by troper" function is obviously a useful tool for cleaning up after problematic editors. However, I think it could do with being made a bit more convenient. At present, clicking on a specific edit sends you to the top of the edit history for that particular page. It would be really nice if this instead took you directly to the edit in question. If nothing else, this would speed up the process of cleaning up after bad editors.

I don't know if the edit history supports going to a specific edit at the moment.

I think this would help, too. The edit history tends to get buried when there are many edits.

I think that the find function browsers have works just well for finding edits by a troper.

Bump to see if this is something that shoud be looked into.

Yes, but it would need some substantial rewriting of the page history code.
