Summary: Short URLs for history pages
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: dger...@gmail.com
With the move to dual-licensing with CC-by-sa, reusers should link back to the
history.
I propose nice URLs for the history pages, so we don't end up with things
peppered with "?" and "&" and "=" printed on mugs, travel guides, etc. e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/history/Xenu instead of
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Xenu&action=history .
(Obviously, reusers *could* put up their own history page. But making
compliance easier is likely to make it better.)
I filed this as an enhancement of Wikimedia's installation, rather that of
MediaWiki itself, as it's mostly mod_rewrite config. It would of course be nice
if the software did this by default when short URLs are enabled, but that may
really be a further enhancement.
