- userid
- User ID of the revision creator. If the user has been revision deleted, a userhidden property will be returned.
- size
- Length (bytes) of the revision.
- slotsize
- Length (bytes) of each revision slot.
- sha1
- SHA-1 (base 16) of the revision. If the content has been revision deleted, a sha1hidden property will be returned.
- slotsha1
- SHA-1 (base 16) of each revision slot. If the content has been revision deleted, a sha1hidden property will be returned.
- contentmodel
- Content model ID of each revision slot.
- comment

- tags
- Tags for the revision.
- roles
- List content slot roles that exist in the revision.
- parsetree
- Deprecated. Use action=expandtemplates or action=parse instead. The XML parse tree of revision content (requires content model

- Values (separate with | or alternative): comment, content, contentmodel, flags, ids, parsedcomment, roles, sha1, size, slotsha1, slotsize, tags, timestamp, user, userid, parsetree
- Default: ids|timestamp|flags|comment|user

- arvlimit
Limit how many revisions will be returned. If arvprop=content, arvprop=parsetree, arvdiffto or arvdifftotext is used, the limit is 50. If arvparse is used, the limit is 1.
- Type: integer or max
- The value must be between 1 and 500.
- arvexpandtemplates
