    Great, thanks, very helpful. Just curious how you came to know about all of these? Was it just making a mental note of URLs you noticed as you used the system over a period of time, or was there some more direct route to compiling this information?

  • As an example, while researching for this answer I stumbled upon the /posts/comments/ short form. I never knew it existed, until I checked a few obvious places to look for system generated URLs.

  • Just a check: on /users/recently-deleted-questions a mod sees the same as the user or do they get to see all deleted questions?

  • They see the same as the user; they'd have to use the search functionality (user:12345 deleted:1 is:q) to see all deleted questions.

  • @Mast that link is already mentioned in the List of unlinked pages.

  • So is /revisions, yet you mentioned that in your post. That's kind-of where I expected /timeline too. Oh well, at least it's indirectly mentioned. Very nice feature.

  • But /revisions is not an unlinked page (unless there is only a single revision). So it belongs here but not in the other post :)

  • Ah, gotcha. The 'problem' is indeed with the other answer, not with yours.

  • Interesting that a link to an answer from the search page ends with something like https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/44063/stack-overflows-robots-txt-is-completely-useless/44082?r=SearchResults&s=1|13.2247#44082 (I searched for blab) The s=1|13.2247 part is undocumented and seems to be (based on other tests) s=<position_in_results_page|<matching_ratio>.

  • @fedorqui'SOstopharming' interesting, that s parameter appears for me only after I've clicked the link. Might be worth a question by itself ...

  • Oh, the link to the answer in meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=blab does not have the s parameter to you? I checked with private window and normal one and it always does to me. Commented Apr 15, 2020 at 8:00

  • For comments, there are also magic links, e.g. [edit], [mcve], [reprex], [repro], [mre], [example], [tag:tag-name], [meta-tag:tag-name], [meta], [main], [help], [tour], [so], [mathoverflow.se], and [chat]. Rendered (not all work in this special place, but they work on the normal sites): edit, [mcve], [reprex], [repro], [mre], [example], tag-name, tag-name, [meta], [main], help center, tour, Stack Overflow, MathOverflow, and Meta Stack Exchange Chat.
