      From https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/130665/always-show-confluence-url-in-page-id-format#comment-131813

      Hello there,

      Our customer would like to configure Confluence so it always shows page URL in following format;

      <Confluence Base URL>/pages/viewpage.action?pageid=<pageid>

      Currently, when it contains only ASCII letters, the URL looks like

      <Confluence Base URL>/display/<Space Key>/<Page Title>

      but they don't want it.

      Any way to achive this requirement? Please let me know.

      Regards,

      Daisuke Niwa

            We need this administrative option as well.  Broken links are a nuisance to deal with.

            I too have a great need for this at my company, for link hygiene as well as security

            Hi guys

            This is quite an issue for larger enterprises where there is a lot of content that is referenced in a lot of different places, can this please be revisited?

            Our use case is knowledge management articles for which we want static links for many users (300+)

            Thanks

            Maree

            John P reasoned it perfectly well, that is exactly our use case.

            Can anyone confirm that this technique works under 5.6.6? I see a comment above that it is not functional in 5.6.5. I am on 5.6.6.

            This human readable URL thing is really a pain and very useless if you want to provide stable links. In our opinion one of the biggest disadvantages of Confluence...

            It does not work on confluence5.6.5. Is that any way to do this?

            +1 for adding this as an option. After all, even Wordpress has the ability to control how page URLs are rendered, and it's had that for ages.
