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.
