for example:
The {{REVISIONID}} showed only blank. Same thing when I tried in Appropedia.
Today they both work. Can't fathom how that could be, unless someone's
slipping hallucinogens into my drink.
Sounds like a regression on

I still have a problem though: I want to insert the
actual value of the
revision id. The most recent one is fine. (Inserting the *new* revision id,
of the new version being saved at that moment, is a nice idea but I suspect
is not doable at this stage.)
{{subst:REVISIONID}} looks like what I need, but it doesn't work (and that's
confirmed by other statements I found online, regardless of hallucinogens.)

It's not really possible with our current architecture, since the
revision ID has not yet been assigned at the time we save the text into
the database.
