Description Nemo 2010-08-16 14:42:39 UTC
If you are in a Thread: page and you want to link a specific post, currently you can either: use the "link to" button under "more", but this gives you a link to a page where only that post is included, so you can't scroll up/down to see other posts; or arrive at this page and click the "From ..." link under the page title, which brings you to the thread with an anchor to the post; or search a child post and use "parent" button. 
To avoid cluttering the interface and following [[mw:LiquidThreads/Redesign]] and e.g. the interface proposed in [[mw:File:Lqt-thread-full.png]], I would suggest to use that arrows as a place where hovering the mouse would provide you an anchor link to the post, like ΒΆ links which appears hovering Sphinx page headers (random example: http://docs.python.org/howto/regex.html ).
More problems with relative links: bug 23382, bug 24082; another suggestion for "link to" button in bug 24627.

Design issue; taking.
Comment 2 Liz Henry 2013-03-19 20:14:23 UTC
Still works as reported by Nemo. 

The starting post of a thread is linkable with an anchor tag, for example: https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#Testy_McTester_thread_31

I would expect the date and time for each post to be clickable and to take me to an anchor tag on the full talk page. Seems like that wouldn't clutter the display, and would work as many users would expect from similar interfaces.
