--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- (In reply to comment #4) > There are *some* patches to improve this, but it looks like kind of a big > deal - it'll probably be handled in multiple stages. * &action=view is gone * We are going to shorten UUIDs and make them alphadecimal ( gerrit 98995 and gerrit 102626) -> http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Sandbox&workflow=rnfimx8dabsyhl2v * You can always replace /w/index.php?title=Something& with /wiki/Something? . https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Clean_up_URLs is an RFC for MediaWiki core to produce the latter -> http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/wiki/Sandbox?workflow=rnfimx8dabsyhl2v * Special:Flow/topic/rnfimx8dabsyhl2v remains a possibility. This is the URL that works as a wikitext link in square brackets without messing around with {{fullurl:}} and templates. It could allow, but not require, the Flow board as well. And we're not sure how to present alternate link formats to the user for easy copying, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow/Functional_Specifications/Boards_and_Topics#Permalink> -> http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Flow/topic/rnfimx8dabsyhl2v * A JavaScript front-end that recognizes fragments is possible, but the link and wikitext [[Sandbox#topic-rnfimx8dabsyhl2v]] would not work in no-JavaScript browsers. Replacing the UUID altogether with "name-of-topic" would require a cross-wiki UUID shortener table. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
