Summary: Have a permalink type URL as a user preference
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User login/settings
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: gerard.meijs...@gmail.com
At a conference I met a group of scientists who have a problem citing
Wikipedia. They wanted to have a URL that always shows that specific version of
the article ... I showed them the permalink and got as a reaction that this is
what should always show as the URL.
What they want will never be implemented, but what may be possible is to have a
user preference that will show a permalink type URL for the latest version.
This should then be enabled from within the user preferences.
Thanks,
GerardM
