Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2006-04-07 20:25:42 UTC
Hallo!

It might be a good ides to expand the "final comment" before </body></html>
with additional information:
revisionid; it should be available in the browsers sorce code anyway
timestamp; I suppose the timestamp when this page gets generated / cached
???

I assume this would facilitate referencing and fault finding.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

It would be far more useful to provide that in 
machine-readable form for JS usage.

Agree. Start with the machine-readable form for JS usage. If it is to cryptic
(if people could not associate it with its meaning) then please append a comment
character and a minimal legible hint.
Comment 3 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2006-04-08 20:21:23 UTC
I wonder how action=purge effects should be included.

*scenario*
User A describes the rendering of page X with revision_id N at (UTC) time NOW.
Templates might change, software updates might be involved, action=purge migth
generate different code.

If user B looks at page X with revision_id N at (UTC) time LATER he should be
able to see at least the timestamp of last *rebuild* of the page. This timestamp
may differ from the timestamp of the last change for page X.

Please stop posting random junk all over bug reports. Thanks.
Comment 5 Rob Church 2007-03-29 21:39:27 UTC
The revision identifier is exposed as wgCurRevisionId. I'm not sure we need the
"page touched" timestamp...
Comment 6 Rob Church 2007-06-08 01:10:46 UTC
Original issue was fixed, the page_touched value would be of limited use to client-side scripts.
