Yes. We want to communicate plans, and it feels silly to begin every sentence "We'll probably, ... " "We think...", "Most likely...". The truth is you learn by doing and plans change accordingly

@ James Salsman: Yes for thread links. No for Summary-namespace links.

I wonder how often people link to a particular reply in a LQT thread, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:BreadCrumbs/Preferences/reply_(2)

I assume people link to threads, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summary:Extension_talk:BreadCrumbs/Preferences

It seems farfetched that someone would link to a thread summary e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summary:Extension_talk:BreadCrumbs/Preferences ; just link to the thread and visitors see its summary, if any.
