Hallo!
Some days before you could use ?oldid=nnnn / &oldid=nnnn with an *arbitrary* title.
This has changed (today?).
There are scenarios where this is quite strange.
I created http://test.leuksman.com/view/Refer_by_oldid as http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Refer_by_oldid&oldid=9974 I moved the page to http://test.leuksman.com/view/Refer_by_oldid_moved as http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Refer_by_oldid_moved&oldid=9975 I deleted http://test.leuksman.com/view/Refer_by_oldid
What happens: see a) http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Refer_by_oldid&oldid=9974 b) http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=oldid=9974 c) http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Refer_by_oldid_moved&oldid=9974
Another scenario: Namespaces get changed and the titles do not match any more.
This was irrelevant in the past. Not it is *not*.
Should we open a bug?

What the hell does this mean?

Sorry the "old behaviour" applays only to ?diff=nnnn / &diff=nnnn
http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?title=Special:Version has version 1.4.4
"title" is irelevant when diff is used: a) at http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=764&old... title=Main_Page does not relate at all to the versions b) at http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?diff=764&oldid=751 no title is used both are identical to c) http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?title=Pays&diff=764&oldid=75...
However d) http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?oldid=764 displays the page with the oldid when title is missing; it is equivalent to e) http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?title=Pays&oldid=764 where the correct title is used
*but* d) is not equivalent to f) http://tousauxbalkans.free.fr/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=764 there the page with the oldid is not displayed; "title" is "prioritized"
