Hi,
It seems that there is a bug on the MediaWiki API regarding querying old revisions.
The following call to the API should return the first revision made to the "Tamilla_Abasova" article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop...
However, instead of returning 37099272 (the correct answer) the value returned is 216581660 (the latest revision). This problem seems to happen only when the article has a small number of revisions.
Is this a known problem? Where should I submit this bug report to?

This is not a bug. The page [[Tamilla Abasova]] has only one revision. You are trying to find the revision history of its redirect target, [[Tamilla Abassova]], I suspect, so you might want to add "&redirects" to your query.

Thank you for such a prompt answer. You are right, this is an "alias" article and I had missed this.
