In some cases it would be better to linke on article ids than their names, something like http://en.wikipedia.org/aid/123456
One example is as a link to an article in Wikipedia from tweet posted through the Twitter API.

Is there a sound reason to hidden so well the main id of pages? Is there any drawback to show it anywhere into wikies, and to use it much largely for links and API calls?
Deleting and restoring/recreating results in a new id, and pages take
their id upon renaming; is the id still useful for linking with these limitations? I just ask it because it is not perfectly clean for me what you mean by that.
