Does the gem enable retrieval of previous revisions of a page?

[aaronmase]

I think that MediaWiki supports retrieval of previous versions. I am interested in retrieving a history of edits for pages. Is this possible?

The MediaWiki API does, but the gem currently does not.

This should be possible now by specifying the rvstartid to retrieve (see #61):

MediaWiki::Gateway.new('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php').get('Banana', 'rvstartid' => 123456789)

That enables pulling a historical version, which is indeed handy, but I believe @aaronmase was asking about fetching the history of revisions itself.

Ah, right, I misread his comment. That's indeed not covered yet.
