--- Comment #1 from Yuvi Panda <[email protected]> --- ShortUrl is literally just that - takes a long title, makes it short. It does not (and should not, IMO!) have any extra logic for following pages around. We already have such a thing to not break URLs - Redirects! If you are moving something without a redirect, then that is an explicit decision made to break the URL. If you don't want to break the URL, leave a redirect. This is as permanent as the canonical URL, and I think that is good enough. Also, there is already a 'permalink' facility, which you can see in the sidebar. If you really want a 'permanent' link, you should use that. ShortURL was simply built to avoid hex-encoding issues. I'd close as WONTFIX if nobody objects. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
