Thanks! But, does "curid" mean "current" ID? Will it change for any reason, such as if someone moves the page?
I think it will only change if the page is deleted and then recreated.
The "cur" is probably for backwards compatibility, there used to exist a database table called "cur" that kept only the current versions of articles (along with a table called "old" that kept old versions), and the parameter was probably already used back then. When the database layout was changed to the current one (pages are revisions as separate entities), the parameter name stuck. (See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Database_layout )
