Add link to current diff

Description

It would be good if there was a link to the to the diff that is currently shown, with diff and oldId matching the revisions selected. This would allow you to easily send a diff to someone, which I find useful when talking about changes.

Sebastian_Berlin-WMSE changed the subtype of this task from "Task" to "Feature Request".

@Sebastian_Berlin-WMSE Would you mind expanding on this with an example? From which view are you expecting this link? Do you mean a link as opposed to having to copy-paste the url?

From which view are you expecting this link?

From the diff view, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=3329571&oldid=3329557&title=User:Sebastian_Berlin_(WMSE)/Tmp&oldId=3329577&diffmode=source.

Do you mean a link as opposed to having to copy-paste the url?

I may just have missed that the URL updated when the revisions are changed. Still, could be nice to have a link for visibility. The permanent link in the left hand toolbar only contains the old id.
