It seems like {{REVISIONID}} doesn't
work<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12694>94>.
I've tried it on Wikipedia, Wikiversity and Appropedia, and it comes out
blank.
Is there another way that I can insert a revision ID into a document? I want
to do it with a bot, rather than manually for each page.
It should probably be the last revision id, as I need to "subst:" the value,
and I'm guessing that won't work with the current value. But I'll try
anything, and I'm not so concerned whether it's the current or previous
revision ID.
I asked on Pywikipedia-L, and got this response. Unfortunately it requires
coding, and I don't understand it - so I'm wondering if there's another
option.
You're looking for the Page.latestRevision() function here:
nicdumz@host:~/pywikipedia$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 5 2008, 19:24:49)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license"
for more information.
>> import wikipedia
Checked for running
processes. 1 processes currently running,
including the current process.
>> mainpage = wikipedia.Page(wikipedia.
getSite('en', 'wikipedia'), 'Main Page')
>> mainpage.latestRevision()
Getting 1
pages from wikipedia:en...
260905624
But you'll have to code yourself in python to insert it somewhere...
It's sort of a "custom" use.
Thanks!
