Description

Hi!
As far as I understand (and tried the code), the current implementation assumes that the input dump file contains a single revision per pageID.
The historical dump files contain all revisions of a single page, and when this is given as input for the code, it generates long textual content without splitting it into revisions.
Is there a simple way to "force" the code to take into account the different revisions per pageID?

thank you!

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how historical dump input is parsed and how pageID content is accumulated, then compare that behavior with the dump's revision structure. Done means historical input produces separate content for each revision rather than one combined text block.
