Talk:Deep linking

message: consists of using a hyperlink that links to a specific, generally searchable or indexed, piece of web content on a website (e.g. http://example.com/path/page), rather than the home page (e.g. http://example.com/).
Isn't it supposed to mean a link to a specific fragment identifier (e.g.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_linking#Example) as opposed to a page as a whole (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_linking) ??
The example given seems to support that definition.

thread_title:  The very definition 

message: I removed the following paragraph:
"Examples of deep linking to maps created on the fly can be found at the article Oakland, Illinois. The web addresses contain all the parameters of the maps. Sometimes this is not possible because a cache area (in this case, a shared script that generates an image map) is used to create the desired map through zooming and shifting, and there is no web address that directly gives the resulting map."
See Wikipedia:Avoid_self-references. Also, the Oakland, Illinois article could be modified in the future, in which case it would no longer be relevant. Ironically, this is one of the dangers of deep linking..... UnHoly 23:33, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Don't merge.  As far as I know, deep linking usually refers to making a text link to a 'deep' page on another website, whereas inline or 'hot' linking usually refers to embedding media served off-site. Seems to me that they are different concepts, and they certainly bring up entirely different sets of concerns.  -Fadookie Talk 10:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't merge. : they are different things, with -by the wat- different legal affirs. There is eveen too much mess in the usage of those terms (they are sometime used in the wrong way). Merging the two article may increase the mess. --ChemicalBit 15:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't merge. I mirror Fadookie's sentiment that they are very different content. ---- Bwagstaff (talk) 21:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way: I also think that Direct linking , redirect to Inline linking at the moemnt, should redirect to this article (Deep linking) instead: a direct link is a link that is usually 'deep', so it's not related with embedding media served off-site (Inline linking) --ChemicalBit (talk) 16:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't merge. To me, these are also two completly different tasks as well. And both articles are also long enough already, merging them would make it only more confusing. --Dietmar Lettau (talk) 22:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Don't merge. I sign under Fadookie's statement: they are not the same. And I add some more... Deep linking only risks messing up usability, whereas hotlinking is using someone else's bandwidth (and likely his/her rights) for our own profit, with no profit for the one you leech from. From my point of view, deep linking is, at most, unfriendly, while hotlinking/inline-linking is unethical (and, most of the times {citation needed :P}, ilegal).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drakferion (talk • contribs) 11:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm new to wikipedia, so please forgive my mistakes. I always understood the term "deep linking" to specifically refer to linking into a deep state of a client side application that might be running on a single page - eg, not a kind of hyperlink covered by existing "hyperlinking" standards. In fact, the kind of deep links for that purpose that History Keeper and SWFAddress enable for Flash and Javascript apps, are sort of abusing the hash portion of the url (file.html#hash) to achieve a workable form of deep linking (deep links created by those tools, don't conform to the anchor standard, since anchors don't exist in most cases for the client generated deep links - you can see this by testing a SWFAddress or History Keeper enabled website in the w3c link checker).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Touvan (talk • contribs) 18:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Deep-linking to Wikipedia

message: The example states that "This link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_linking is an example of a deep link.", but that link links to the same page, when "Deep linking, on the World Wide Web, is making a hyperlink that points to a specific page or image on another website". Also, this seems a lot like 'hotlinking' to me. Can someone expand upon these areas please? -- 220.245.127.197 (talk) 03:11, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  National Newspapers Ireland want license for deep linking 

message: Excuse me for asking here: Is there a way to deep link to a specific text string within the target page? To PDF files you can deep link to a certain page by adding #page=nn (has that been mentioned here? You might want to.). But I’m looking for a way to send the reader directly to a quote within a longer text, that has not been marked with a HTML-nametag a name= (also not mentioned here), eg. …en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_linking#Usage?find="Sometimes". The browser would have to interpret this find, before displaying the goal page. — Fritz Jörn (talk) 09:30, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
