In fact, it is the only use case we should care about. What is slightly rare, however, is the case where using titles or pageids makes a difference. And when there is a difference, the title will be the right choice (as the pageid will likely be no longer visible, or refer to a title that is about a subset or superset of the subject (delete, split or merge). > > There is no further discussion or implementation needed, the ShortUrl > > extension already implements the title id concept and has been deployed on > > several wikis.

There is two parts to this service in the current schedule: An implementation on the MediaWiki side, and a redirect set up from a short domain. I'm not sure what you meant by "it doesn't address what was asked" since ShortUrl implements exactly what was asked as regarding software/database implementation. All it needs further is a short domain, which we'll need regardless of the implementation and the domain not related to the short-id database itself. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
