query_posts()

um, you totally erased the bulk of the http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Function_Reference/query_posts&action=history file. ! Dwenaus

No, I just moved the Parameters section to Function_Reference/WP_Query. Scribu 22:10, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Silence vs. a partial answer

"silence is better than uncertain info"

I disagree. In fact, because you removed that, I just had to go digging through the call chain again, still trying to ascertain what this function actually does, because it still doesn't say. Only when I went to add it, again, did i notice int he history that my previous attempt to untangle this mess had been whitewashed. Vynce 22:10, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

You should be able to understand *what* the function does by looking at it's docblock (if not, please open a ticket in trac). Understanding *how* it does it is outside the scope of that Codex page, IMO. Scribu 12:12, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Also note that call chains are easier to follow using PHPRef. Scribu 12:20, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
