I am working with some enwiki-{YYYYMMDD}-stub-meta-history.xml dumps and
wanted to get clarification on how certain fields of the articles can
change:1. What action will make an article get a new pageId? Is it only move/rename, a redirect, or a deletion and recreation, or are there other ways this could happen? Can any of these changes be detected from the stub-meta-history.xml files? 2. Is it possible for just one particular revision of an article to be deleted, maybe due to a copyright violation? If so, is just the content of the revision deleted or would this include all the data associated with it, so that the revision would not even appear in the stub-meta-history.xml file? 3. Are pageIds recycled? If a page is deleted, could its id number be used for a completely new page in the future?
