The ID of the revision.
flags
Revision flags (minor).
timestamp
The timestamp of the revision.
user
User that made the revision. If the user has been revision deleted, a userhidden property will be returned.
userid
User ID of the revision creator. If the user has been revision deleted, a userhidden property will be returned.
size
Length (bytes) of the revision.
slotsize
Length (bytes) of each revision slot.
sha1
SHA-1 (base 16) of the revision. If the content has been revision deleted, a sha1hidden property will be returned.
slotsha1
SHA-1 (base 16) of each revision slot. If the content has been revision deleted, a sha1hidden property will be returned.
contentmodel
Content model ID of each revision slot.
comment
Comment by the user for the revision. If the comment has been revision deleted, a commenthidden property will be returned.
parsedcomment
Parsed comment by the user for the revision. If the comment has been revision deleted, a commenthidden property will be returned.

tags
Tags for the revision.
roles
List content slot roles that exist in the revision.
parsetree
Deprecated. Use action=expandtemplates or action=parse instead. The XML parse tree of revision content (requires content model wikitext). For performance reasons, if this option is used, arvlimit is enforced to 50.
Values (separate with | or alternative): comment, content, contentmodel, flags, ids, parsedcomment, roles, sha1, size, slotsha1, slotsize, tags, timestamp, user, userid, parsetree
Default: ids|timestamp|flags|comment|user

arvlimit

Limit how many revisions will be returned. If arvprop=content, arvprop=parsetree, arvdiffto or arvdifftotext is used, the limit is 50. If arvparse is used, the limit is 1.

Type: integer or max
