On one of my wiki, I put it in the template, in the footer of the page. So it is there all the time
And if diag is enable, the info is also there, so is it really a need for an action in thecore of Pmwiki?

I've used that now and then, and it is a bit annoying to have to edit a 
wiki page in order to do it. The page

 	http://wiki.lyx.org/PmWiki/PmWiki

does reveal what version is used, but I never remember to look at that 
page - maybe because the information is not very visible.

We could add a dedicated page to the PmWiki/-pages that says what version 
is running, e.g. the page

 	http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Version

which I just created to illustrate this.

Another alternative is to have a special action that returns the version, 
possibly with other information. It'd be similar to 'action=diag', but 
with less information (and enabled by default). If the name of the action 
could be for instance

 	?action=PmWiki-version

Another way could be to have an action that returns the value of a 
variable, i.e. the call would be

 	?action=variable&v=Version

The reason I mention this latter alternative is that it might be useful 
for an external application such as 'pmwiki-mode'.

These are all just loose ideas that I thought I'd throw to the list before 
I forget them.

Best regards
