Subject: [Mediawiki-api-announce] Change in ordering of revisions from<br>
        prop=revisions<br>
<br>
prop=revisions has long ordered revisions by rev_id rather than timestamp<br>
when returning results for a single page. In most cases this doesn&#39;t make a<br>
difference, but for old pages imported from earlier versions of Wikipedia,<br>
for revisions imported from Special:Import, and so on these orderings don&#39;t<br>
always match.<br>
<br>
prop=revisions has now been updated[1] to order by timestamp rather than<br>
id. While this is technically a breaking change, it seems unlikely that any<br>
clients will actually be broken by this.<br>
<br>
This should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.26wmf4, see<br>
