There really isn't a good reason for a wiki (or git host) to provide diffs between arbitrary revisions to unauthenticated users. Limit it to diffs compared to previous (which can be cached) and this problem goes away.

In any case, such labyrinths of expensive dynamically generated pages are no excuse for subjecting people requesting the start page to bot checks.
