Change Details

**Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where): I would like for there to be a "Copy link to this version" button for articles near the header of a page and for article sections (T18691). **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): There are millions of talk page and external discussions about specific articles and sections that were meant to link to articles and sections that existed in a particular state at the time they were referenced. When discussions get archived and articles change as a result of the discussion or naturally over time, it can be time-consuming to find the version of the article that was being discussed. Providing a "Copy link to this version" article would encourage editors to link to the version of the article they are referencing in a discussion so that context about a discussion is preserved. **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): Referencing historical wiki content would become very easy and immensely benefit both editors and readers.
