Change Details

As a developer, I want to write browser tests without knowing the repo’s configuration, in order to ensure software quality. As a Wikibase user, I want to link to entities on another repository without knowing that repository’s entity namespaces. **Problem:** `Special:EntityPage` exists to redirect requests to the correct namespace for an entity (e. g. `Special:EntityPage/Q1` may redirect to `Q1` or `Item:Q1`). However, it discards any query parameters, so you can’t use it e. g. to link to a specific revision, or to an entity’s history. **Example:** * `Special:EntityData/Q6?oldid=123` * `Special:EntityData/Q6?action=history` **Acceptance criteria:** * The `oldid` parameter is passed through. * The `action` parameter is passed through. **Open questions:** * Which other parameters should be passed through? `undo`/`undoafter`/`restore`?
