Hi MediaWiki dev,
I want to know the revision of a HTML of an article.
I noticed that every page (no matter which namespace an article is in), the HTML contains a section "printfooter", and there will be a url after that looks like: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Footer&oldid=659536
The "oldid=659536" is just the revision id of the HTML of an article.
My question is, if this is a reliable way to find out the revision? Or is there other recommended way?
Thanks
