Is that working again? I remember that it stopped exporting full history about three years ago and I just stopped bothering with it.
It will only export 100 revisions at a time. So you can get the full page history eventually by repeatedly exporting 100 at a time; this could probably be automated easily enough with a script. I don't think I'd try
it
manually for any article with a large page history though.
Considering how allowing reuse of our material in compliance with the GFDL is the central goal of the Wikipedia project, it's kind of bizarre that fixing this hasn't received a higher priority. Or is it broken by design? I can't imagine any reason why it would be.
It was originally limited like this because exporting was too server-intensive. I don't know if it's still a problem.
