There's already the ID, but not an actual link. This could be an easy way to address bug 21572 at least in part.
This request would benefit from a bit clearer summary and description. PS: found during https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage/20130307
The current revision is linked in the "Edit history" section in the "Date of latest edit" field. The curid itself doesn't look like a valuable piece of information otherwise.

Reopening pending explanation. What dependency? They're both marked as fixed.
(In reply to comment #4) > This is actually the same thing as curid, isn't it? Definitely not; curid is page_id, oldid is rev_id. > What dependency? They're both marked as fixed. Bug 21572: action=info already provides the page ID, but not in the form of a curid link, which could be used as short permalink to the page (as opposed to permalink to a specific revision of it). We're definitely not exposing this sort of permalinking feature in the UI, so it can't be a WORKSFORME; of course it may be a bad idea, in which case it would be a WONTFIX. :)
Blarghfrpft. Okay. I was confused by the "permalink to last revision" part in bug summary. I'm rephrasing it (again), not sure if it's any better though. You should probably implement it yourself to avoid further misunderstandings :P
For what it's worth, I still don't know what's being asked here. I'm not sure this should be tagged with the "easy" keyword.
(In reply to comment #7) > For what it's worth, I still don't know what's being asked here. I'm not sure > this should be tagged with the "easy" keyword. From the bug summary, I think they want to add the "permalink" of the page to action=info (example page: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Sandbox&action=info ) Maybe add a new row to the pageinfo-header-basic with the current ID and make that ID a link? Anyway, I'd put the +easy keyword only when the design decision of where and how display that link has been made. Making the decision during the code-review process would be frustrating for a new developer.
