Bug ID: 65251
Summary: Query-continue for imageinfo returns timestamp which
is ambiguous if multiple files were uploaded within
the same second
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: ril...@wikipedia.de
CC: bjor...@wikimedia.org, bryan.tongm...@gmail.com,

Consider the following query:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=File:Test.svg&prop=imageinfo&iilimit=10&format=jsonfm
... and the result:
"query-continue": {
"imageinfo": {
"iistart": "2014-05-07T18:26:53Z"
}
},
... when using that iistart continue param, it's possible to get imageinfo for
the same file revision again if iilimit was one because it's in theory possible
to upload *two file revisions to an image within one second*.
Expected: Either a more precise timestamp for the short term or one has to
consider adding ids to image revisions (which requires DB changes: Add ID
column, [use parent ids for old file names instead of parent timestamps, move a
lot of files,] ..., amendments to the API).
Sooner or later we'll have to fix that anyway.
