[Mediawiki-l] extracting the whole history of an article

[Robert Carter]

I've been experimenting with the parameters to Special:Export to  
retrieve the whole history of an article. I haven't been able to get  
more than 1000 revisions (from en wikipedia).

Does anyone know of a way to obtain the full history of an article?  
Those huge 7z exports seem too crazy to work with to extract data for  
only one page.
