On [[Special:Version]] it is shown the following: +-----------+--------------------+ | Product | Version | +-----------+--------------------+ | MediaWiki | 1.20wmf1 (3e1bae7) | +-----------+--------------------+ | ... Prior to git migration, there was an SVN revision number instead of the code "3e1bae7", and it was possible to get it from API by using the "rev" property in a query such as this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&format=jsonfm Now that MW is uses Git, there doesn't seems to be a way to get the "3e1bae7" because the "rev" is not defined. The relevant code seems to be at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blob;f=includes/api/ApiQuerySiteinfo.php;h=e11d1105262af5ec919568c1240067a9cfe94558;hb=HEAD#l123 Could someone add an analogous code which would result in things such as "3e1bae7"?
[[Special:Version]] now shows "MediaWiki 1.20wmf1 (82f3370)" with 82f3370 linked to a non-existent revision. Extensions are linked, though and the links are working. Exposing this information via the API is probably necessary since the core and extensions don't all pull from the same repository.
