--- Comment #14 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2012-11-17 20:36:35 UTC --- (In reply to comment #13) > Some short urls, which works: > > https://en.wikipedia.org?curid=15580374 > https://en.wikipedia.org?diff=521573414 > These have been discussed in the past and should never be used as a short url. Diff is a difference view, hardly useful. I assume that should be "oldid" instead: https://en.wikipedia.org?oldid=521573414 Which is a permanent link to a certain revision, however revisions can be removed, hidden or merged. And one probably wants to link to the latest version of an article. '"curid" isn't very useful either because that links to the pageid, and articles can be renamed, deleted, re-created, merged, and split. What we want is link to a title, this is what the shorturl extension does. It creates a short unique ID for titles. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
