Add logid parameter to Special:Log

The usefulness of this is questionable, unless/until some functionality is developed to make it possible to cross-link from one log event to another in Special:Logging. Therefore, WONTFIX.

For what it's worth, I consider this request to be valuable.

This could be implemented in Special:Redirect.

In fact, this will be a good GCI task. It's actually not as trivial as it might look.

@TTO: Can you imagine mentoring this in Google Code-in 2015? Asking as per your last comment. :)

@Aklapper: I can imagine it so vividly that I even wrote it up as a GCI task: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5108429945307136/

Hah! Thanks. :) I'm going to move this on the workboard column from "Proposed" to "Imported" then.

I would like to claim this task on GCI, however, I don't see it on the task page. Can I start working on this?

Just subscribing in case @Pranavmk98 decides not to claim this, as I'd be interested in this one too.

The feeling when you get a task resuscitated after more than 1 year and it gets resolved in 5 days 😃

Problem: when the selected log entry isn't public, the special redirect should display an error message instead of the next (unrelated) entry.

File a new task?

Special:Redirect: Don't redirect to a log entry, where the user can't see any information

Actually, it might have been wiser to add id-based paging to Special:Log so as to allow permanent links to lists of entries.

Yeah, I agree with this.
