Dear all
I have one confusion and would be extremely grateful if some clarification
is offered.
https://en.wikipedia.org//w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&
prop=revisions&titles=Sachin_Tendulkar&rvprop=ids%7Ctimesta
mp%7Ccomment%7Cuser&rvlimit=30&rvdiffto=prev
This is a api request I prepared using mediawiki sandbox tool to get 30
sequential edits for the page Sachin Tendulkar. If you run the query in
your browser you will see a diff field for each edit
which probably is the difference between past and current edit. Here
revision content field is false
https://en.wikipedia.org//w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&
prop=revisions&titles=Sachin_Tendulkar&rvprop=ids%7Ctimesta
mp%7Ccomment%7Cuser%7Ccontent&rvlimit=30&rvdiffto=prev
This is the same request with content filed true
Now What I see is that for all 30 revision content field is more or less
same and right now I am not able to understand what is the reason for the
content field. If you know anything regarding this please let me know , I
am also trying to understand this field.
Regards
Soumya
