Shortcuts and Friendly URLs for Issues

Drupal developers have been shouting node id numbers across tables at sprints for almost 15 years now. The Drupal Association has added some shortcuts and friendly urls for issues to make this a little easier.

Shortcuts

The first shortcut we added is a searchbar feature. If you enter any node id in the search bar you'll be automatically redirected to that node. This works for more than just issues!

The second shortcut we added is a quick url pattern for finding issues. If you know your node id, just type:

https://drupal.org/i/<node-id>

 and you're there!

Friendly-Urls - Updated 2017-11-12

We've implemented a new friendly url pattern on Drupal.org to make the canonical urls more sensible and search engine friendly.

Project pages:  Unchanged https://drupal.org/project/drupal

Issue Queue:  Unchanged (for now*) https://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal

UPDATED - Specific Issue: https://drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2922626

This new pattern should be backfilled to all issues by the beginning of next week.

And of course, if you have old bookmarks linked, you can still get there by going to: https://drupal.org/node/<node-id>

These are small, but powerful improvements that should make the lives of everyone who contributes to the Drupal project easier.

UPDATED - *After this change to specific issue urls will we create a follow up to change issue queue urls to match the pattern: https://drupal.org/project/drupal/issues
