Description Dario Taraborelli 2013-01-26 01:39:59 UTC
There is currently no way to link to an arbitrary revision of a page using internal link markup. This forces MW users to use external link syntax when referring to an internal oldid.

Can we introduce markup to support internal linking of oldids, e.g.: 

[[::123::]]

[[Foo::123]]

would both render as links to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=123

(I am not suggesting we use actual colons, but you get the point).

I think this is possibly a dupe of bug 8410.
