Description Catherine Munro 2005-03-23 19:19:03 UTC 
It would be useful if Revision ID number (see bug 181) could be stored in a variable -- 
{{VERSIONNUMBER}} or the like -- a la the other variables at 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Variable.  

This would make it easy to construct templates for citation of the current version (see bug 
800), and other references helpful to readers as well as editors.


(entering as new bug as suggested by Brion Vibber)
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-03-26 18:25:04 UTC 
New magic keyword: {{REVISIONID}}

Implemented in cvs HEAD and need to be tested. The value will
change when viewing an old revision of the article and seems
to correctly display the current revision on article view.
Comment 2 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-03-26 18:31:55 UTC 
Due to bug 181 (no revision id for current article) this bug
will not be implemented in 1.4. Closing.
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2005-03-26 21:34:32 UTC 
There are some inconsistencies in behavior.

* nothing is displayed on preview (should it be? should there be a distinct alternate value?)
* nothing is displayed in diff view (it should be)
Comment 4 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-03-29 16:40:42 UTC 
It's working now.
Because the diffengine is fetching article content directly,
Article::mRevIdFetched was not properly set.

There is still a problem with the diffengine as there is
three ways to show the diff for the last revision :(
