Link to action=edit of a specific revision shows current revision in VE
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

This link was shared with me: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Quiddity_(WMF)/sandbox&action=edit&oldid=2607307

However when I follow it, I see the current revision of that page. In order to go to the right revision, it needs veaction=editsource: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Quiddity_(WMF)/sandbox&oldid=2607307&veaction=editsource

Not sure if this is expected behaviour?
