Description

When attempting to view an old revision of an article (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ggplot2&oldid=532258481) on the mobile site, Special:MobileDiff intervenes and shows the diff view rather than the old version of the article (eg http://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ggplot2&oldid=532258481)

I believe this is because Special:MobileDiff is taking over when it sees 'oldid' in the query string.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Yep.

When fixing this we should also be careful to ensure that the reader knows they are viewing an old version of the article with a link to the latest version.
