Description Frozen-mikan 2011-04-26 03:34:12 UTC
It normalize every URL of same diff link on history, watchlist, contributions, recent changes and diff page.

The advantages to a single URL is as follows.

1. In the browser, visited links will work.
2. Cache may work well.

I am glad if you could consider the proposal.

For those of us who are ignorant and too lazy to look: how would normalization change the URLs?

That is, could you provide an example of a URL the same resource presented two different ways?

(I'm sorry. I can only understand simple sentences and words.)

We can display a different URL on the same page, I think it's good.
However, server software (MediaWiki), I should return the same URL.

The following URL would have been better unified.

Instance 1.
- Contributes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kamakura_Women%27s_University&diff=prev&oldid=416133414
- History:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kamakura_Women%27s_University&diff=416133414&oldid=385650448

Instance 2.
- RC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Arn&curid=6892970&diff=426352745&oldid=262340500
- Watchlist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Arn&curid=6892970&diff=426352745&oldid=262340500
- History:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Arn&diff=426352745&oldid=262340500
- Diff(next):
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Arn&diff=next&oldid=262340500
