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. Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process. getSite('en', 'wikipedia'), 'Main Page') 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! -- Chris Watkins (a.k.a.
