You might look at using some sort of source code revision tool for the job. 

I did. Doesn't fit.
Sounds good. It was just a suggestion in case you hadn't looked at it, but it sounds like you've already thought through any alternatives. 





  Something like Subversion is built for this sort of task


I am using subversion on a daily basis. But not for this task at hand.
Not that you couldn't do this sort of thing after hacking together some scripts or investigating dwpage.php, but if you're trying to fit your source code revision peg into the dokuwiki hole, 

I am not talking source code. I am talking network device
configuration, as you might see in the paragraph I quoted above. The
devices cannot feed of an svn repository, and I only need a front-end
to store the configuration in an end-user accessible way since suits
love to have documentation. Having versioned documentation is only an
added bonus.
I know you weren't exactly storing "source code", but then again, I think of subversion as more of a "file versioning" system with some nice front and back ends, versus just a "source code versioning" system. I didn't realize from your post that versioning was just a side benefit of the system---I thought it was the end-goal of what you were doing here. 

Good luck with your project!
