Hi,
To get some test data for a script I want to export Q4115189 with history. The Problem is, that the most recent revision I get from Special:Export is from 2013-05-02T10:44:01Z, so I can't see the outcome of test edits I make.
Am I using it it wrong, is the export page broken, or is there another way to get something in the same format as the dumps with history?
best, Lukas
Special:Export has a hardcoded limit of (I think) 100 revisions. I thought that would be the latest 100, but apparently, it's the first 100. Pretty useless.
You can use the API instead:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&title...
To get older revisions, use rvcontinue (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Raw_Query_Continue)
For details, look for prop=revisions on https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query
