All three of the following links are to the second post in this topic. However, only the first two work. The third one worked until very recently, and we use it pretty extensively in our community to avoid cluttering wiki posts that reference several posts within the topic. That third link now just …

What you’re actually using there is a hack, especially if it is a deep link to a specific post. This is the correct permalink URL form https://meta.discourse.org/t/{title}/{topic-id}/{post-id} This has been hacked up to work, when people accidentally omit the topic ID, we guess that if the “topic …

The third link does work if you open it in a new tab. It’s only when you click within one tab that it breaks. And it breaks bad - you can’t even click the logo to go back to the front page of the forum. TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined at n.setupController (application-779d3dc…

Why was this moved to support? Havin…

Because it’s something you need to fix due to unintended use, it was never a supportable thing. A bug is a feature of function that stopped working, which isn’t the case here. I’ve also updated the title to reflect what actually happened here, links aren’t created without a title, this has arisen b…

[image] Stephen: You can identify every broken link in one hit by looking through your database, your users don’t need to go back and fix them by hand I’m not an admin, so unfortunately I can’t do this. [image] Stephen: A bug is a feature of function that stopped working, which isn’t the…

That wouldn’t fix your problem though, right?
