Benoît ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Benoît Evellin (Trizek) <bevel...@wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, Jan 26, 2024 at 4:08 PM Subject: Permalinks for talk pages will be deployed on Monday To: Wikitech Ambassadors <wikitech-ambassad...@lists.wikimedia.org> Hello Starting on Monday, a change will be visible on talk pages or pages where discussions happen: the Editing team will deploy talk page permalinks. In short, any comment posted on a talk page will get a unique identifier, the permalink, stored in a database. It will make it possible to find a comment, even if it was moved elsewhere. The main visible changes are: - The timestamp becomes a link. You get the permalink by clicking or taping on the timestamp attached to the comment. - If you click on any link to a comment, and this comment was moved elsewhere (for instance for achieving), you get a message with a link to the comment - When you are directed to a given comment, this cimment is highlighted, and the URL contains the unique ID for this message. You can learn more about how this feature works at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk_pages_permalinking . Translations for the documentation are welcomed: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Growth%2FCommunities%2FHow+to+configure+the+mentors%27+list&action=page&filter=&language= All comments, even the older ones, will get a permalink, as far as they have a proper signature. This change will not be available on English Wikipedia for the moment, as the database is not filled yet. It is available on Desktop and Mobile view, but not on the iOS and Android apps. It will not affect talk pages using StructuredDiscussions/Flow and LiquidThreads. This change will be publicized in Tech News and on the Diff. Please share it with your community! All the best, Benoît -- Benoît Evellin - Trizek (he/him) Community Relations Specialist Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> -- Benoît Evellin - Trizek (he/him) Community Relations Specialist Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
