           Summary: Prettify permalinks
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All

          Severity: enhancement

Our current permalinks are kinda ugly...

Particularly for non-ASCII bits the title portion of a link can be hugely ugly
(all URL encoded) and hard to type in by hand, making a clean ID-based
permalink easier to use from print.

eg from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=251850832
->
http://en.wikipedia.org/revision/251850832

or:
http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%82%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%80_(1992_%E0%A4%AB%E0%A4%BC%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AE)&oldid=188492
->
http://hi.wikipedia.org/revision/188492

(A $wgActionPaths entry or similar can provide the exact path, as long as we've
got some shorter way to do this standard.)

cf bug 16428 asking to put permalinks in the print version footer.
