Replace absolute url with tiny url in mail notification of page edit and comment

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently, a page title is represented with an absolute url in mail notification for page edit and comment. For example: http://localhost:8099/display/TEST/new+again

      So, when the page is moved to another space, the url/path has changed for example to http://localhost:8099/display/ds/new+again. When a user click on the page title link in the mail notification, he/she will be redirected to the old url and will be getting Page Not Found.

      To improve this, we should make use of tiny url instead, like the one we used in shared page and mention mail notification. Here is the example:

            Unbelievable that Atlassian recognises that an URL with the Space and Page name hardcoded is bad practice, and promotes using their "Tiny URL" for remote links. But... they do not use it themselfs and refuse to recognise it as a Bug. How far can you be from real users ?
