Publications
gollark: And yes, it's POSSIBLE, but slower with the revisions-table-only scheme.
gollark: I want to be able to display a "created" and "updated" bit on pages.
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.
