I just realized that i can’t go back to the original topic when following a link without post number. To illustrate: https://meta.discourse.org/t/welcome-to-meta-discourse-org/1 https://meta.discourse.org/t/welcome-to-meta-discourse-org/ Is this a bug or not possible by design?

Yes please, keep the slug and the id: For example https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-navigate-back-when-using-urls-without-post-number/197060 That way the link will remain stable. Also this will work but it is not as pretty imo and will cause a redirect. https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/197060

Ah ok, so I just need any slug and the right id, as in /t/welcome/1
Thanks for clarifying
