The Revision class represents a MediaWiki revision.

This class was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.31, in favor of RevisionRecord, RevisionStore and BlobStore. It was completely removed in MediaWiki 1.37. See Manual:Revision.php/Migration .

Creating a new Revision object

To instantiate Revision, call one of the static factory methods:

• loadFromId( $db, $id ) - load a page revision from a given revision ID number.
• loadFromPageId( $db, $pageid, $id = 0 ) - load either the current, or a specified, revision that's attached to a given page.
• loadFromTimestamp( $db, $title, $timestamp ) - load the revision for the given title with the given timestamp.
• loadFromTitle( $db, $title, $id = 0 ) - load either the current, or a specified, revision that's attached to a given page.
• newFromArchiveRow( $row, $overrides = array() ) - make a fake revision object from an archive table row.
• newFromId( $id, $flags = 0 ) - load a page revision from a given revision ID number.
• newFromPageId( $pageId, $revId = 0, $flags = 0 ) - load either the current, or a specified, revision that's attached to a given page ID.
• newFromRow( $row )
• newFromTitle( $title, $id = 0, $flags = 0 ) - load either the current, or a specified, revision that's attached to a given title.
• newNullRevision( $dbw, $pageId, $summary, $minor ) - create a new null-revision for insertion into a page's history.

Methods

• getContent( $audience = self::FOR_PUBLIC, User $user = null ) - fetch revision content if it's available to the specified audience. If the specified audience does not have the ability to view this revision, null will be returned.
• getText( $audience = Revision::FOR_PUBLIC, User $user = null ) (deprecated in 1.21) see {{ll|Manual:ContentHandler.php#Migration|Manual:ContentHandler.php#Migration}}.
• base36Sha1( $text ) This is simply wfBaseConvert( sha1( $text ), 16, 36, 31 )

Accessors

• getRecentChange() - get the RC object belonging to the current revision, if there's one.
• getNext() - get next revision for this title.
• getPrevious() - get previous revision for this title.
• getTitle() - returns the title of the page associated with this entry or null.

One of:

• Revision::FOR_PUBLIC - to be displayed to all users
