Description Excirial 2013-07-15 13:33:06 UTC 
When editing a page the editor seems to ignore the "&oldid=prev" parameter entirely. Instead of editing the old revision, the editor loads the most recent revision.

Steps to reproduce:

* Navigate to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baylor_University_Institute_for_Oral_History&diff=540967084&oldid=prev
* Press "Edit this Page"

I would except that the editor would load the page currently displayed on the screen. Instead it seems to omit &oldid=prev entirely, and loads the most recent revision instead. 

(Tested on Firefox 22, Monobook skin. Possibly related:50615)

Preference 'Do not show page content below diffs' also affects this bug.

If enabled, the 'Edit source' link currently edits the current version of the page, so I think 'Edit' is doing the right thing in that case.

If disabled, the diff block on the page should be deleted and the html on the page should be editable as-is.

This seems to now be fixed. Please re-open if you think I'm wrong!
