Description P.Copp 2008-12-21 21:33:53 UTC Currently, null revisions created by page protections or moves are stored without specifying a value for the rev_len field, thus it is stored as NULL. This causes weird bugs like the one shown in the URL above, where the {{PAGESIZE}} parser function don't work correctly.
