Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Can the title of the question be a "clean" link to the question itself?

Sometimes I find myself browsing through the site and want to share a question. If I arrived through a link to an answer, I do not have a good way to "clean" the URL and be able to get the URL of the question itself.

If we had this link, this would become easier to do: just click on the title and the newly loaded page will be the URL to share.

Also, this allows duplicating the current page in a single click: sometimes you may be in-line editing a post and want to see how it looked before your edit; by clicking on the title of the question you can do that immediately.

A clean link to the question also works as a refresh button. (1 comment)

Does the "copy link" link below the question meet your needs?

Those of us who came from Somewhere Else are used to the title being a link, but we thought an explicit link would be more discoverable. This doesn't mean we couldn't also make the title a link; we just haven't yet.

I am not opposed to having a clear and readily accessible “clean” link, but I would prefer it not be the question title. Sometimes I want to copy the question title, and having to play with it to get around the hyperlink was one of the annoyances (to me, anyway) of Somewhere Else.
