== Are there more advanced solutions? == I called this a "basic solution", so are there others? You bet. These get more involved because they entail using another site or tool to create an archival copy of the version of the page corresponding to the revision you want to cite. One example of such a tool is [https://perma.cc perma.cc], which is what my collaborators and I use when we're citing URLs in our published work. Perma.cc is a subscription-based service that we get access to through our universities, so if that's not an option, you might also use something like the [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive's Wayback Machine], where there's a little text-field where you can enter a URL to "Save page now." The Internet Archive also has browser extensions linked from their homepage if you prefer that kind of thing (I can't vouch because haven't used them myself). For most people most of the time, I suspect that these even-more-permanent archival links are not necessary. That said, at least you know about them now in case they ever become something you're looking to use!
