It only sounds a good idea if these links are not going to show up in the edit text or in diffs. Signatures are getting bad enough now with all the <font>s and <big style="flashing nonsense"> </html> junk in them. I wouldn't want to read an edit page where full URLs appeared after every comment.

Not only does the Revision object not get an ID until the insert function (obviously too late for text manipulation) but it has to actually be saved in MySQL for the autoincrement field to autoincrement. But having spent ages looking at that, I remember that we have functions for doing diffs based on "next revision after this". So, it's not pretty, but presumably a pre save transform (e.g. a signature) could embed a link to a diff between the revision *before* itself and "whatever revision comes next" - which in all but the oddest cases will be the revision you're in the middle of saving... So, sort of like "/index.php?oldid=$lastrevision&direction=next" where $lastrevision is the latest revision actually *saved* of that page. -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]
