Summary: IRC recent changes feed does not provide the revision ID
for page creations
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For most edits, the IRC recent changes feed provides both the revision ID of
the edit and the revision ID of the previous edit, via the 'diff' and 'oldid'
parameters in the URL given for the edit.
However, when a new page is created no revision ID is provided. Obviously an
'oldid' cannot be provided as there is not one, but it should be possible to
add the revision ID. Currently clients wishing to know the revision ID of the
first edit to a page have to use the API instead, or use the very kludgy trick
of inferring it by incrementing the revision ID given on the previous line.
Note that the 'rcid', where enabled, is provided in both cases, however this
number is no good except for patrolling/sighting pages.
