Mirroring a Tweet from a long gone past. The mediawiki plugin can only pull 500 revisions at a time, oldest first, hence the loop.
$ sudo apt-get install git-mediawiki
$ git clone -c remote.origin.pages='Example' mediawiki::https://de.wikipedia.org/w/ ./Example
$ cd Example
$ while [[ "$o" != $(git rev-parse HEAD) ]]; do o="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"; git pull; done
$ git blame Example.mw
and that’s exactly why media wiki sucks
