Subject: Recentchanges misbehave?
Original description:
There are two bugs I found in recentchanges\(\) from wikipedia.py.

First, I think that the function should return every revision. However, now it returns only pages that haven't seen before.

Should

if i\['pageid'\] not in seen:
seen.add\(i\['pageid'\]\)

be replaced with

if i\['revid'\] not in seen:
seen.add\(i\['revid'\]\)

?

Second, what does parameter 'includeredirects' stand for? It is useless becaue it isn't used anywhere in the function.
