But the answer to that is to use permalinks (referencing the numerical revision ID of the content) rather than a specific page title (redirect or not). A link to a permanent revision ID is available from the sidebar. Using it, you can be assured that you and your friend discuss the same content (barring template changes, image changes, and/or the revision being deleted, among other things). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
