Currently "list=deletedrevs" does not support look-ups with revision IDs. However, "prop=revisions" does support look-ups based on revision IDs. I would like to be able to use revision IDs to do lookups of both deleted and non-deleted revisions in the same manner.
This means that revids would be supported for extracting specific revisions, drstartid would allow searching after a certain revision and drendid would allow searching before a certain revision.
Here is an example of what currently happens when trying the obvious with "revids":
returns:
{
"query-continue": { "deletedrevs": { "drcontinue": "0|\udbff\udfff|20060416102417|59516453" } }, "query": { "badrevids": { "48686706": { "revid": 48686706 } }, "deletedrevs": [ { "revisions": [ { "timestamp": "2006-08-19T00:06:25Z", "revid": 70501255, "*": <snip> } ], "ns": 0, "title": "\udbff\udfff" } ] }
}
