Neither of the examples I gave obfuscate links when making permalinks.

https://de.m.wikipedia.org/w/?title=Valheim&oldid=231146307 page title is still in the link, in addition to the revision ID

https://github.com/git/git/blob/d15644fe0226af7ffc874572d968... also says exactly where you're going, it just replaces the branch master or whatever with the commit. You still see the repository and file path.

Permalinks don't have to be obfuscated. The downside I would rather mention is that the link doesn't update to newer revisions if improvements are made. It's not like an LTS version where fixes are still applied but no changes (I guess because every change is supposed to be an improvement to the topic, but yeah, not always).



Huh... yea, i haven't really thought about doing urls via argument. I guess i just much prefer a single path. You've really given me something to think about though.
