Description

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
