Hello! There has been a discussion on the English Wikipedia about linking to a diff in an edit summary, deletion "reason", rights change reason, etc. Is there a way to do this? If not, I suggest that one be created. Nota Bene: this doesn't work with Special:PermaLink, and Special:ComparePages doesn't support a version without a query string (PHP URL parameters). If nobody gives a way of doing this, I will file a request on bugzilla. It shouldn't be too difficult because much of the code has already been written for Special:PermanentLink and Special:ComparePages (maybe in SpecialComparePages.php and SpecialPermanentLink.php? Not sure). Thanks in advance. πr² (t • c) 03:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I think I'll just file a bug.

Dunno if you filed a bug, but I've pushed gerrit:63395 for review.

Best regards
