I know this is off-topic, but it is still relevant: is there any way to acquire the ID number for the current version of a Wikimedia article? I've thought about this in the past, and with the root article I thought I might pose it to the /. community. The parent's post with a version URL pushed me over the edge. I have looked high and low for that little tidbit of information, and while the Wikipedia URLs entry provides a lot of information about how to productively construct Wikipedia URLs, I can't figure out how to permalink to the current version of the article I'm viewing. Any tips?
