Schilling, Tom, 14/04/20 14:30:
So the question arises if a usage
of pageID would not be a better solution in context of linked open
data?
Yes, it would be. We use it already for permalinks in Wikimedia Commons
attribution strings and in Meta-Wiki pages.
Are there any concerns why this procedure could be a particularily bad
idea? Is the pageID in this case a persistent identifier for the page
on wikipedia?
It's not completely persistent, it can be lost. It's relatively rare
though, and those cases may not matter to you.

I don't recommend it, but a more permanent ID is the oldid or rev_id,
unless that revision is deleted. One advantage would be that it records
what version of the page you consulted; later versions could change the
topic of the page. It can also be used for some forms of links to the
*page* without further redirection, for instance the page history:
