When oldid is specified, all messages shown have the content of the top one. For example, compare this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:User_talk:Peachey88/Woa,_why_all_the_deleted_pages%3F/reply_%284%29 With this: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=539525&rcid=611053 Other examples: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Thread:User_talk:Peachey88/Woa,_why_all_the_deleted_pages%3F&oldid=520001 https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Thread:User_talk:Peachey88/Woa,_why_all_the_deleted_pages%3F/reply_%283%29&oldid=539501
Still current, see e.g. https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?oldid=3855518 Oldid is needed to identify diffs to single messages and can be found in the user's contributions, although LQT assumes you to use the lqt oldid.
