On the other hand it seem
strange though that I can't get easily get all 'events' between two dates.
You can, with recentchanges. It has its limitations, but IMO you
should be able to cope with them.
Would it somehow be possible to build an intermediate
solution? E.g. would
it be feasible to build a dedicated
action=query&prop=allchanges&start=...&end=...
that just solved that problem?
For revisions, possibly. It wouldn't include log
events, though.
I guess in principle it's possible to build this,
but it might be quite
inefficient, seeing as maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php says "This takes
several hours, depending on the database size and server configuration."
...and as you might've guessed, inefficient stuff has no chance of
being enabled on larger wikis.
