Is there any security risk in showing an article's ID number to the
public?
I'm working on a quick and dirty hack to add forum style discussions
to my wiki. It's a temporary solution until we see what happens with
Liquid Threads. I am putting all of the threads in their own
namespace 'Discussion' and I'm trying to decide on the naming
convention for the page titles ...
Discussion:RelatedAritcleID/Topic title ... ie: 4018/Something
or
Discussion:RelatedPageTitle/Topic Title ... ie: Big round things/
Something
I was leaning towards articleID because its shorter and will continue
to work even after a related article has been moved. But i don't know
if there is any risk in showing the articleID to users.
thanks in advance
