The URLs are not stable either, so you can't really use them for links. People don't use the possibility to be warned when a link dangles, there are plenty of blind links, and yet that link system is used intensively.


Are you saying that URLs like http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/azw are discarded after awhile ? I didn't know that. I've bookmarked several queries like that, so I need to find another way to keep them.

No. Not particularly speaking of that. I don't know if/when they discard and I myself don't wonder because I simply use the expanded or clear request. This is the same as your example.

I was saying that the Web is crowded with invalid links, that people are happy with that fuzzy situation and that, unlike what you said, a few wrong IDs, much less than wrong links, do not make using IDs a wrong method.

FYI, I once wrote an improvement to a Wikipedia page.  A self-appointed vigilante came down on me and accused be of self-research (what I wrote was as verifiable as 1+2=3). I was requested to add a link to a page saying 1+2=3.  I replied that what I said could be proved, and that, of the existing 3 links in the page, 3 were incorrect.
The Internet is full of contradictors.

Cheers

André.
