Change Details

I think this started happening yesterday (August 2nd), but urls of the `?title=ArticleName&diff=123456789` and `?title=ArticleName&oldid=123456789&diff=prev` variety (such as from the patrol log) display an error: the page title displays as "Error" and the MediaWiki:Difference-missing-revision text is displayed. Discovered on enWiki, but happens everywhere else I've tested. The page content as of that revision ID still displays, so wouldn't it be better to not show the error? If this behavior is indeed intentional, then the links in the patrol log need to be changed, as these will deliver the error.

Urls of the `?title=ArticleName&diff=123456789` and `?title=ArticleName&oldid=123456789&diff=prev` variety (such as from the patrol log) display an error when the referenced revision does not exist: the page title displays as "Error" and the MediaWiki:Difference-missing-revision text is displayed. The page content as of that revision ID still displays.
