Bug ID: 67280
Summary: View/restore deleted revisions with only oldid
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: glaisher.w...@gmail.com

If there is a link to a Special:Permalink/90502 where 90502 belongs to a
revision of a deleted page, we only get [[MediaWiki:Missing-revision]] which
assumes that the page is Main Page if there is no title parameter in URL. So if
one does not know the title of the page, it's really difficult to restore that
revision/page. [1]
This happens only for URLs with oldid parameter only. It is possible to
view/restore revisions with special:diff (without the title parameter). [2]
1. https://test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=90502
2. https://test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=90504
It should be possible to view/restore deleted revisions with only oldid without
knowing the title.
