Will changing a topic's title break a link to the topic?

We wonder what happens if we change a topic’s title later down the road.
Will the link back posted elsewhere on the web brake?

I am having the case where new evidence would require a different thread title more adequately describing the issue. Will links to my thread still work when the title is changed?

The links will work fine if you rename a topic.

This link will bring you to this thread although I replaced the title in the link with a - for example:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/131719.

As long as the correct ID for the topic is in the URL after the part where the title should be it will work. I use the hyphen trick to link to topics when sites block long URLs from being posted. :slight_smile:
