<p dir="auto">I'm struggling to answer this. I want to be able to share a link to a specific version of an object. Links are URLs, URLs are like URIs but I'm less interested in URIs, however this does kind of give OSM objects an id per version. I've seen people storing similar in databases.</p>
<p dir="auto">The current system is <code class="notranslate">Checkout version 1 of [this](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1/history)</code> which isn't ideal. I guess there is also <code class="notranslate">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1/history#:~:text=Version%20#1</code>, but I use Firefox.</p>

<p dir="auto">Happy to close in favour of that, if we expect it to happen any time soon.</p>

<p dir="auto">I've not made the links visible anywhere, and people are already linking to the history page. I don't think this will do anything to the performance.</p>
