--- Comment #10 from Adam Wight <[email protected]> --- I came across something disturbing while exploring the oldid fix: apparently, there is a 'redirect' parameter to the edit action that allows a page save to change the contents of the redirected page, rather than the contents of the redirect article passed as the 'title' parameter to edit. Maybe I'm being willfully blind, but I cannot imagine a case where this is a good idea. This seems like a nasty hurdle to reimplementing oldid, because a process making a 'redirect' edit will not necessarily have any information about the revision level of the redirect target. These cases would have to fall back to the badly flawed timestamp check. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
