Exclude seconds and milliseconds from comment IDs
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Are there plans to start keeping track of the seconds and milliseconds when talk page comments are posted?

If there are no, ID endings like :00.000Z seem to be useless – they eat up space:

  • in URLs (an ID like c-Example-2020-09-22T20:10-Example-2020-09-22T20:00 is 24% shorter than c-Example-2020-09-22T20:10:00.000Z-Example-2020-09-22T20:00:00.000Z)
  • as well as in page HTML (= traffic, and on a page with ~200 comments I see 823 occurences of :00.000Z, which is almost 1% of the whole HTML content – not so negligible)
  • as well as in the database.
