you can just delete its query_string, eg:
if the diff is
 http://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews?action=diff&rev2=281&rev1=280
then
 http://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews
 will be current and you don't have to mentally apply diffs and format the markup in your brain
or, if you use firefox or some modern browser, bookmark this
javascript:a=location.href.split('?')[0];location.replace(a)
 and this will replace it instead.
