Note the link we give to google news is a normal link, it just has the article number (curId) added on. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/American_console_sales_continue_to_decline_throughout_April?curid=126807 goes exactly the same place as http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/American_console_sales_continue_to_decline_throughout_April Since [[American console sales continue to decline throughout April]] is article number 126807. the curid does not do anything to adjust the flagged revisions (it only comes into play if you use the wrong title - for example http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/This_is_clearly_not_the_video_game_article_but_geuss_where_it_goes?curid=126807
Since anons always view the stable version, I don't think we need any special links. After all we want them to see the flagged changes as well. cheers, bawolff On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 5:25 AM, Brian McNeil <[email protected]> wrote: > Facebook sharing is apparently through editing the following url: > > http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=about%3Ablank&t= > > As far as I can tell the 'u' parameter is a full URL.
