Description:
I note that MediaWiki assigns a unique ID to each revision of an article. The
URL to a particular revision is (at least on Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php followed by a query string with the
article's title and revision ID. Example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aristotle&oldid=22376284. This gives
me the article [[Aristotle]] as at 05:00, 2 September 2005.

I'd like to see a similar way of linking to an article as it appeared at a
certain date and time, given only the article title and the date/time. For
example, there should be some query string like
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aristotle&revdate=2005-09-02-0530,
which will resolve to the same link as above. (Since [[Aristotle]] was not
modified between 05:00 and 05:30 on 2 September 2005, the link should resolve to
revision 22376284.)
