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 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
You will also have it in the "Permanent link" link of the sidebar and as wgCurRevisionId in the javascript variables set at the top.
