Bug ID: 59609
Summary: Over-reliance on timestamps
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.23-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

In several places in the codebase, timestamps are used to determine the order
of edits and other actions, which can lead to issues in situations where
several actions happen at nearly the same time. One example of this is
countRevisionsBetween in title.php. If multiple revisions of a page are made
within 2 seconds, it will return an incorrect count when used on those
revisions. Shouldn't this and all similar uses be changed to compare based on
the table's primary key instead (revision ID in this case)?
