Description:
Apologies if this is a duplicate; I performed a search and could not find anything like it.

If you go to the url I included, then click the "(older 50)" link, it does nothing.

The url of the "(older 50)" link is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bill_Clinton&offset=20080420012001&action=history&year=2008&month=4

Notice that it tries to give an offset, but keeps the year and month. It appears that year+month have precedence over the offset, so the page history will remain at the top for that month, showing April 30 2008 down to April 19 2008, when it should be showing April 19 2008 down to April 9 2008.

You actually have to remove the year and month parameters from the url's query string manually in order to be able to browse to the next-oldest page of the article history. For some reason, MW has no problem browsing to the next-newest page in the article's history.

I'm marking this with the keyword "easy" because it seems like it will be pretty trivial to fix.

Thank you.
