Sounds like you could get a patch together. If you do, please submit via Gerrit.

Patch to check if a new revision is saved

This patch will correct future counting. But old counts already in the database will still be incorrect.

Attached:

Hi Lejonel, please request developer access (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access ) and submit your changes for review: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Workflow

I already attached a patch here for review

Your patch wouldn't work. $revision won't be null in a null-edit. It will be a revision object.

(In reply to comment #5)

It worked on my test wiki. Documentation at mediawiki.org for ArticleSaveComplete says $revision is null if no change is made, and WikiPage.php contains:

1397 if ( !$changed ) {
1398 $status->warning( 'edit-no-change' );
1399 $revision = null;

I can't find that text anywhere in WikiPage.php. Also, why did you add so many new parameters to articleSaveComplete?

You are right, I had missed that portion.

You're still using svn. Your working copy missed for instance https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/7259

Patch merged and pushed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/8018
