gollark: Yes, as I said I thought of that, but it makes some queries slower.

gollark: I did think of the idea of *only* having `revisions` and just running weird queries on that, but it involves more problems.

gollark: 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: 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`.

gollark: Basically, when there's a new revision, the apiosystem reads the current content out of `pages`, compresses it, generates and serializes the metadata, then shoves in a row into `revisions`.
