Description carnildo 2006-01-21 08:08:51 UTC 
If you enter a "diff" URL that specifies revisions from two different pages, the MediaWiki software will generate a diff between them.

Steps to reproduce:
Visit a URL such as http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Bots&diff=36063763&oldid=879

What happens:
MediaWiki generates a "diff" page between an ancient revision of the "Sport" article and a recent revision of the "Wikipedia talk:Bots" page.

What should happen:
MediaWiki should generate a very polite error message.
