Description:
Dear friends;

In order to reference sections of older revisions for UTF-8 pagenames generating very long url's I used to reference sections as:

http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?oldid=491241#Enable_email_for_user_talk_page_changes
http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?oldid=491281#Enable_email_for_user_talk_page_changes
http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?oldid=510473#Enable_email_for_user_talk_page_changes

For a reason unknown to me these links all show the newest version.

I assume this is a bug. This is what a « Permanent link » link means to me. Maybe I was wrong in the past.

Another related issue:
When I click on « Permanent link » at
[[n:Wikinews:Water cooler]] I get the url
http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:Water_cooler&oldid=491281
This page still shows « Permanent link » . As far as I remember the behaviour changed; some 16 months ago this was not the case.

Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
