Dear all, I want to export the page history in an xml format. I found the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export for exporting the page history in XML but unfortunately the result contains only the current revision. I unchecked the checkbox but again it gives me the current revision. Is there any special parameter that i have to pass to the url ?
Thanks in advance,

This is currently disabled due to some problems we had with it, particularly on heavily-edited pages.
Hopefully it should become available again if we can get it to stream properly to web output.

I've seen that question asked several times. Perhaps a patch to show it's a disabled optional feature would be useful?
