--- Comment #26 from Brion Vibber <br...@wikimedia.org> 2012-02-09 00:44:01 UTC --- I do have some concerns about this extension: * it creates a new numeric identifier to describe pages, which is very similar to existing page_id * but it isn't page_id -- it refers to a page title, and thus if a page is renamed ends up referring to the old redirect Since it's just a number with only internal meaning, I'd be more inclined to recommend using the page_id rather than creating a new id just for short links. This also saves the trouble of installing a new database table on every wiki, and would make it trivial to enable it for *all* wikis instead of just some. As for the proposed prefix of "/r/", I'm not sure I like it; I'd prefer "/page/" or something myself, meanwhile using something like "/rev/" or "/revision/" would make sense for shortened version permalinks (with oldid). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
