--- Comment #7 from Bartosz Dziewoński <matma....@gmail.com> --- (In reply to comment #6) > I would love to have a [[Special:Diff/117674067]] syntax instead. > Similar to [[Special:Permalink/117674067]]. But currently there is > no better way to link to a diff. A patch for this is pending: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/63395/ .

The change broke existing pages. No, that did not do what it was supposed to – in fact, it wasn't supposed to work the way you used it. I have already asked about the magnitude of the problems this caused in comment 3 and have yet to receive an answer, but given that I haven't heard any other reports that magnitude is rather small. > Argument #2: A {{fullurl:...}} should always be treaded as a core > function and never as a template, no matter what's written after the > colon. Currently it tries to transclude a non existing > [[Template:Fullurl:]], [[Template:Fullurl::]] or worse. This is > confusing. This might be a valid complaint. The behavior, however, is consistent with the behavior of other magic words when they are called incorrectly; if we want it changed, I think it should be done in a separate bug. > Argument #3: All these are valid URLs: > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=Wikipedia:Hauptseite > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=: > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title= > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite&diff=117674067 > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=Wikipedia:Hauptseite&diff=117674067 > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=:&diff=117674067 > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/?title=&diff=117674067 That's not true, the third one now results in a "Bad title" error. The seventh one only works because the 'title' parameter is ignored when 'diff' is given. Let me also note that in the fourth one the empty 'title' parameter is filled with the 'Main Page' title (which is why visiting "https://de.wikipedia.org/"; works). > Therefor all these calls of the fullurl function should create the > same valid URLs as shown above: {{fullurl:de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite}} > {{fullurl:Wikipedia:Hauptseite}} {{fullurl::}} {{fullurl:}} > {{fullurl:de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite|diff=117674067}} > {{fullurl:Wikipedia:Hauptseite|diff=117674067}} > {{fullurl::|diff=117674067}} {{fullurl:|diff=117674067}} {{fullurl: requires a valid title, and '' and ':' are not valid titles. As I mentioned, we could add a hack to make that work, but I'd rather not (without at least assessing the impact, see comment 3). What would you expect {{fullurl:<>}} to do? {{fullurl::}} and {{fullurl:}} behave in the same way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
