Hallo! http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aristotle&oldid=233521 gives Aristotle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Revision as of 05:18, 1 December 2001; view current revision ← Older revision | Newer revision → *but* there Older revision gives http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aristotle&direction=prev&oldid=233521 giving Aristotle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Revision as of 15:29, 15 September 2002; view current revision ← Older revision | Newer revision → then Older revision gives Aristotle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Revision as of 20:08, 14 September 2002; view current revision ← Older revision | Newer revision →http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aristotle&direction=prev&oldid=223853 One would expect that if oldid (A) <= oldid (B) then timestamp (A) would be also <= timestamp (B). It seams that this is *not* the case. How to deal with this? Should the revisions be sorted by oldid or by timestamp? Wiki's created after a certain date should not be afected.

I do not know if this relates also to: bug 1915: Edit link URL gets "oldid" from page URL instead of actual id, where page URL has "oldid" and "direction" values ( http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1915#c3 )
please compare with bug 1919 comment #1 ( http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1919#c1 )
Hallo! Please start at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?go=first&action=history to compare the "Earliest" revision with the "second" revision. go=first&action=history translates to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history&limit=50&offset=20020209112809 the diff translates to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=139993&oldid=139992 The "earliest" revision is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=139992 Revision as of 16:28, 26 January 2002 TwoOneTwo (Talk | contribs) removed [Article News] You will see a link to a revision with a lower id number but with an older timestamp: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=139946 Revision as of 12:02, 4 August 2002 The Cunctator (Talk | contribs) removing airshow, adding stock market crash Now please click on "Older edit" unless "Older edit" is not available any more. This is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=139871 see also Bug 4826: Missing summary and link to Contributor at "earliest revision" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=139871 Revision as of 15:11, 5 August 2002 GayCommunist (Talk | contribs) Temporary measure. This behaviour relates both to "diff=prev&oldid=" *and* to "direction=prev&oldid=". *explanation* It seams that action=history is ordered by *timestamps*. You will find http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=139946 Revision as of 12:02, 4 August 2002 The Cunctator (Talk | contribs) removing airshow, adding stock market crash at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&dir=prev&offset=20020801000001&limit=50&action=history but "Previous diff" / "Next diff" follows an order by *"oldid"* (page_id (?)). best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
