If this is going to be implemented, I would stronlgy suppose to make the index
parameter a _parameter_ and not a function argument:
{{REVISON...:[page name]|[relative revision index]}}
as per Bug 6092#c15

Well, if any of those actions is performed on a page, these revision magic
words could simply return an error (assuming undefined?) if a parameter larger
than 0 is passed. {{#iferror:}} can then be used to deal with this.
In any case, the simpler use cases for the first revision (speedy deletion for
instance) usually don't involve such complex page manipulation, so the
potential benefit outweighs the edge cases where this would fail.

Aside from being expensive, 'what is to be considered the "first" revision' is also an open issue.

Another use case is the deletion templates, which could use {{REVISIONUSER:1}}
to link directly to the user who created the page so they can be notified.
However, bug 23427 comment #13 indicates that retrieving this info is an
expensive operation. If this means that this request will never be implemented,
then someone please close this bug as WONTFIX so we can reallocate our hope
credits to other items in our wishlists :)

Say you have a page whose content is reflected elsewhere (such as a wikipage describing a blueprint for a technical system). You can make a template that takes the revision ID of the last revision that was current with the system, which displays a link to that revision and how long ago it was written. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Since I believe that a lot of people are using them this might be a good idea if possible. Sadly I cannot evaluate this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

They double the page save time, which can run into tens of seconds on large pages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
