Permalink has a specific meaning that comes from blogging, which originally had the intention of saying something like "we promise as long as this blog is alive this link will remain valid and point to this and only this" post. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks "Permanent link" is another alternative and I think that is fine to be changed to. "Link to this entry" is often used too. I'm kind of indifferent to this whole topic but I prefer "permanent link" only in the blog feature. Anywhere outside of the blogging feature this should not be used. It's really more of a social contract in the blogging world, where IMO if you move the blog entry for any reason, you ought to set up a 301 redirect to where it is eventually at. But IMO the functionality to keep the URL permanent is never really there, even in WordPress (although there is a 301 redirect plugin that does the job pretty well - http://www.wpexplorer.com/change-permalinks-wordpress/ ), so "Link to this entry" is perfectly fine. - from wikipedia - In the context of systems that support versioning, such as most wikis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki>, a permalink is commonly understood as a link to a *specific version. *Here, both the link itself and the resource it refers to should not change over time. *Nelson* On Fri, May 1, 2015 at 6:53 AM, luciash d' being <lu...@ti...> wrote: > +1 to remove from the post itself and if it stays in the list maybe > rename it to "Permanent link" or "Link to this post" and on click just > reveal preselected URL of the post for copy&paste instead of following > the link? > > On 05/01/2015 12:04 PM, Jonny Bradley wrote: > > +1 to remove, was silly non-techie jargon in the first place imho, it's > just a link ;) > > > > jb > > > > > > > > > >> On 1 May 2015, at 10:31, Gary Cunningham-Lee <ga...@cu...> > wrote: > >> > >> Hi, > >> > >> Like "avatar", is "permalink" old jargon?
