'''PermanentLink''' is a [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Special pages|special page]] that allows users to create internal links to a specific revision. Revision numbers can be found in each page's edit history.<br />
<br />
Such links are a little slower to load compared to external links but easier to type and they work in some places where external links do not, e.g. edit summaries. <br />
<br />
Note that it is very common to see links to specific revisions implemented as external links because it is easy to cut-and-paste an entire URL to form an external link rather than creating an internal link using this special page.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
* <code><nowiki>[[Special:PermanentLink/1242287]]</nowiki></code> → [[Special:PermanentLink/1242287]] – Shows the link to a specific revision of the page where the revision number occurred in its edit history.<br />
<br />
These links may be used in the edit summary as well as adapted like any other internal links, e.g. {{tmpl|0=<code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Special:PermanentLink/2700992{{!}}$1<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>|see this revision}} → [[Special:PermanentLink/2700992|see this revision]].<br />
