Description Željko Filipin 2012-10-30 18:12:50 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

- go to any article
- click link Edit
- "edit article" page will open
- page URL ends with &action=edit
- but sometimes. page URL does not end with &action=edit but with something like &action=edit&oldid=40654
- for example:
  - http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
  - http://test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit&oldid=40654

More background: I am creating automated tests that drive browsers for mediawiki and I have noticed a failed test:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/30801/

I wanted to check if adding &oldid=(id) sometimes to the end of the URL is expected behavior.

if you're on an old revision view this is expected; don't think it should happen on current page view though.... looks like that page is using FlaggedRevs though so you're actually seeing an older version of the page.

thanks Brion, this is what we wanted to know
