gollark: Outside of timestamps, which are small and thus insignificant, no.
gollark: ESPECIALLY given that I plan to store stuff like edit distance.
gollark: But that would be somewhat inelegant.
gollark: > This isn't really ideal, as I think I'm duplicating data a bit (timestamps), updating a page involves more work, and more importantly the revisions thing doesn't have any relevant information beyond what's available from pages.> Also, the latest update to something doesn't show on the user-visible revisions page, which is a minor nitpick but I mildly dislike it.
gollark: Hold on while I checkinate.
