That said, there was an attempt in 2013 to provide Memento support,
which would (partially) mitigate this problem by using appropriate
templates:

Of course, this would still be vulnerable to deleted images etc. And
we weren't even thinking about Wikidata transclusions then :-)

 Possibly an obvious remark: an oldid-based permalink gets you an old
 version of the source text of the specific page, but does not give you the
 original visible _result_: The page is reparsed and displayed using the
 _current_ version of all used templates, images, data from Wikidata etc. We
 do not store the complete state anywhere, so perma.cc does provide extra
 value here.

(Foolish question: can oldids be reconstituted from dumps?)


Yes, grep any XML dump for revision to see yourself. However, the 
standard import doesn't preserve this information.
