Hi @KinneretG: I just want to confirm that you saw my comments that I added to the document in the shared drive last week. They're just stylistic so no problem if you missed them.

Yeah, it sure looks like something invalid in the database. Check out the continuation string which is all �: https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allrevisions&arvprop=ids|timestamp&arvdir=newer&arvlimit=1

@mako re making the program page, I messaged (on Telegram) KcVelaga - Krishna per Liam's recommendation. Let's see if they can do it. If not, you or I will do it.

mako added a comment to T199121: RFC: Spec for representing multiple content objects per revision (MCR) in XML dumps.

I think it would be more surprising to have the same SHA1 for two different (in any way) revisions than it would to have a SHA1 that reflects something other than the SHA1 of the primary/historical content field. So I guess I like the revision-level
<sha1> reflecting the hash of all parts of the revision.

mako added a comment to T38866: ResourceLoader: Convey license information in HTTP requests serving minified builds of javascript files.

The GPL defines source as the "preferred form for modification" and
minified-JS is clearly not that.
