Unless you have the IBM History Flow app. It's downloadable from IBM: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/historyflow
You can import data from a database dump, if you have access to one, or the program will get the data from the wiki itself. The last I heard, Special:Export was limited to showing 100 revisions, but this seems to have changed now.
Sounds interesting. I should look into that.
