--- Comment #27 from Bawolff <[email protected]> 2012-02-09 00:49:40 UTC --- (In reply to comment #26) > I do have some concerns about this extension: > > * it creates a new numeric identifier to describe pages, which is very similar > to existing page_id > * but it isn't page_id -- it refers to a page title, and thus if a page is > renamed ends up referring to the old redirect > > Since it's just a number with only internal meaning, I'd be more inclined to > recommend using the page_id rather than creating a new id just for short > links. > This also saves the trouble of installing a new database table on every wiki, > and would make it trivial to enable it for *all* wikis instead of just some. > I think some people didn't want the short urls changing where they pointed to on page move, and wanted them to still work after a page delete/undelete cycle.
