Help:Permanent link

From Mickopedia, the oul' free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A permanent link (or permalink) is a holy link to a holy specific version of a holy wiki page. Normal links always lead to the bleedin' current version of a page, but the oul' permalink leads to the bleedin' text as it was at the feckin' time; the feckin' text does not include any edits made since, enda story. Unlike what the name suggests, the bleedin' permalink does not show exactly the oul' same page, though; only the oul' main text is guaranteed to be retained. The pictures included in the feckin' page are still shown at their most current versions,[1] as are the feckin' templates, most notably the feckin' boxes with text and images placed in the bleedin' page's right-top corner, as well as any content transcluded from other pages. In other words, the feckin' permalink displays what the oul' article would look like today if someone reverted to the revision in question.

A permalink can be made by clickin' 'Permanent link' in the bleedin' sidebar's toolbox or by accessin' a prior version of an oul' page from its page history tab. Right so. Both of these will display that version and the bleedin' page's URL can be used as the bleedin' target of the feckin' permalink.

Wikilinks

[[Special:PermanentLink/oldid]] or the shortcut [[Special:Permalink/oldid]] can be used to make a bleedin' wikilink when this is preferred over a URL. oldid is the bleedin' revision number in the oul' URL of a permanent link like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mickopedia:Help_desk&oldid=402359171, which is thus equivalent to Special:Permalink/402359171.

The normal rules for wikilinks apply, e.g. Bejaysus here's a quare one right here now. regardin' section names, interwiki prefixes and pipes, the hoor. Wikilinks work in edit summaries, unlike URLs. A wikilink only works in Mickopedia, and some other wikis if it has the oul' right interwiki prefix. Be the hokey here's a quare wan. Here are some examples showin' how to wikilink from a feckin' Mickopedia page, to a specific version of an oul' page, so it is. Note the oldid part of the permanent link, and write your own Wikicode:

Note: the feckin' section title is appended to the bleedin' Revision id.

Notes

  1. ^ The most obvious differences are if images that existed at the oul' time are subsequently deleted. Sufferin' Jaysus listen to this. They would be shown as red links, and inevitably the oul' layout of the oul' article would suffer.
