Bug #: 28819
Summary: Deleted revision links should use "rev_id" not
"page/timestamp"
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
(Forked from bug 21279 comment 33 per Brion)
Per bug 21279, code will be patched so that deleted revisions can be referenced
by their rev_id (to ensure that links using rev_id will work regardless of
subsequent delete/undelete activity).
Once this is done, can special pages such as [[Special:Undelete]] and
[[Special:DeletedContributions]] be modified so that the links they show to
deleted revisions and deleted revision diffs use rev_id rather than
page/timestamp. This would ensure that any links posted on-wiki or noted by
users for future would be guaranteed to always work (or at least be easy to
trace) regardless of future deletion/undeletion, unlike page/timestamp based
links which can fail.
