thread_title:  Why was this considered for deletion? 

message: The concept of permanent links is not specific to blogs and was not invented by bloggers or by any specific blogger, regardless of what this page may assert.  This issue is described abundantly in W3C documentation concerning good web page practices and almost certainly goes back into the 1990's.  Bloggers seem to be suffering from the "not invented here" syndrome. Benwing 00:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, and I would add that the use of permanent links on wikis rates a mention. However, the problem of link rot on "plain ol'" Web sites is more of an unintentional side effect of site maintenance. In contrast, blogs and wikis have volatile links and content as a direct result of their organizing principles. This requires blogs and wikis to provide specific features to let people link to snapshots of content as it appeared at specific times in the past. And that required bloggers and wiki users to give this set of features a compact name. By saying "permalink," bloggers are effectively implying "We expect this site to change like crazy, so we give you an unchanging way to link to pieces of it." That is different than the typical "plain ol'" Web site which simply ignores its problem of link rot and provides no defense against it. By ignoring the problem, "plain ol'" Web sites ceded "ownership" of the idea to the blogger community, which systematically tried to address the problem of link rot. That's how I would look at it, anyway. --Teratornis 22:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not simple enough 

message: Looking back at the article, it says "if an item is changed, moved or renamed, the permalink remains unalternated". This is a bit confusing to me. My understand is a permalink is like the wikipedia permalink and e.g. some online book permalinks. The permalink always links to the version of the item that you are currently viewing! However from this statement, I'm confused. It sounds as if it is suggesting that the permalink will point to the new version of a changed article not the old. This is quite different from the definition I first gave and I think we need this to be clarified. If there are two different meanings of permalinks, one for blogs etc and one for stuff like wikipedia and books this needs to be made clear. If this is not the case, then the wording needs to be rephrased. E.g. "if an item is changed, moved or renamed, the permalink remains linked to the unalternated version". 60.234.141.76 10:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does permalinks mean? 

message: What supporting reference says Scott Banister and Matt Kerner coined the term?  If none, we need to remove it because unfortunately Wikipedia is the reference for subjects like these.  Lotsofissues 01:40, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Lotsof. His or her simple request has been pending since November 2005 and has not been fulfilled.

thread_title:  Crediting the coiners 

message: Wiktionary defines it as:  "A static address (link) to an individual blog entry or news item on the World Wide Web."  So, basically, the only difference between a permalink and a plain ol' link is that permalink is a term used by bloggers to indicate a link that is more human readable?  One that doesn't have a CGI-style URL with a question mark in it?  I mean, I create all sorts of permanent links all the time, and I'm not planning on them going anywhere.   Are they permalinks?  Does intention differentiate a permalink?  Who designs transient links, anyhow?  I don't get it.  --Dwiki 22:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: How does the first picture help with the understanding of a permalink?  # is not the universal symbol for a permalink, so I think that it is more confusing than anything else. Maybe a picture of a more widely recognized site would be better?  128.30.44.75 18:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Again, what does permalink mean?

message: You can find the "permalink" term used in a number of places on web, whenever there is a distinction between the URL used to view a page and the a persistent URL that can be used to link it.
For example, the American Institute of Physics use the "permalink" term on web pages for journal articles.  See, for example, http://link.aip.org/link/?APPLAB/91/031105/1
Someone needs to do a little digging to see how widely this term is usage, and update the page accordingly.

replies: text: I too am doubtful of the current discussion that excludes static URLs. Considering some of the above posters having similar doubts, I am adding the misleading-tag for now. I am also not certain that the semantic implied by <link rel="bookmark" href="[Permalink URL]" /> at the bottom of the page is correct. 94.220.244.75 (talk) 17:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  usage is not limited to blogs 

message: Dear Discussion Group,
Is there a term/name for a making a link that stays permanent even after a the original page is gone?
I could not find it. Maybe you can lmgify me.
If this has not already been done, then it is absolutely doable:
When a blogger makes a link, simply have the blogging software mirror/cache the page (e.g. "wget --mirror --level=5 http://someurl") and keep the page permanently on-site.
Pages get updated, I understand, but one can also keep a header on top of the mirrored page that says when the mirror was taken and what is the original link. Older version is always better than a broken link.

thread_title:  Permapermalink (Permanent in a bigger sense) 

message: The article states "Originally, all hyperlinks were permalinks, as content was static.". Just because content was static does not mean is was not altered or restructured. Static content can still suffer from link rot. So is this statement useful?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.111.76.119 (talk) 12:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Static content can be modified 

message: The "permalink" is, as the word is most commonly used, a type of persistent identifier or a synonym for "persistent identifier." I propose that we look carefully and consider what should be in the "permalink" article and what should be in the "persistent identifier" article. There might even be reason to merge the two articles. Some of the information currently under "permalink" is applicable to persistent identifiers more generally. I think it would be helpful to readers to be directed rather quickly to a general overview of persistent identification.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Except (talk • contribs) 13:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Permalinks vs. Persistent identifiers 

message: A permalink is a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) intended to remain unchanged indefinitely, pointing to a specific web page or resource. Unlike dynamic URLs, which are generated by databases and change with each new session, permalinks are static and offer a reliable means to access information on the internet. Let's delve deeper into the intricacies of permalinks and their significance in the online landscape.
Structure of a Permalink:
Permalinks usually consist of the base URL of the website combined with additional text or numbers that uniquely identify the specific resource. For instance, a blog post's permalink might look like this:
https://teksyst.com/blog/web-design-and-search-engine-optimization/
In this example, "https://www.teksyst.com/blog/" is the base URL, and "web-design-and-search-engine-optimization" is the unique identifier for that specific post.
Purpose of Permalinks:
SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Permalinks play a crucial role in SEO. Search engines use the keywords in the URL to understand the content of the page, enhancing the page's visibility in search results.
User Experience: Permalinks contribute to a better user experience. They provide users with a clear, readable, and memorable way to revisit specific pages, share content, or cite sources.
Link Stability: Since permalinks are permanent, they ensure the stability of links. Websites can undergo redesigns or content reorganization, but permalinks remain constant, preventing broken links.
Types of Permalinks:
Numeric Permalinks: These consist of numerical identifiers, making them simple but less descriptive. For example:
https://www.teksyst.com/?p=123
Date-based Permalinks: These include the publication date in the URL. While informative, they can become irrelevant as content ages:
https://www.teksyst.com/2023/10/11/web-design-and-search-engine-optimization/
Post Name Permalinks: These use the post title or a similar descriptive phrase, ensuring readability and SEO benefits:
https://www.teksyst.com/category/web-design-and-search-engine-optimization/
Best Practices for Permalinks:
Keep It Simple: Use clear and concise words in the permalink, avoiding special characters or unnecessary jargon.
Include Keywords: Incorporate relevant keywords to enhance SEO and help search engines understand the content.
Avoid Changing Permalinks: Once a permalink is established, avoid changing it unless absolutely necessary. Changing permalinks can lead to broken links and negatively impact SEO.
Use Hyphens: If your permalink consists of multiple words, separate them with hyphens ("-") for readability and SEO.
Permalinks serve as the backbone of web navigation and content accessibility. Their stability, clarity, and SEO benefits make them indispensable for website owners, bloggers, and online businesses. Understanding the significance of permalinks empowers content creators and users alike, ensuring a seamless and efficient web experience for everyone involved.
