It would be very useful if we could enable users to add URL parameters after a link to the feedback page, in order to insure that the page is filtered and sorted the same way for all users who click on that link.

Here is an example of what such a link might look like:

http://prototype.wikimedia.org/release-en/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Golden-crowned_Sparrow?filter=relevant&sort=date&sort-order=newest

Clicking on such a link would cause the page to be filtered by relevance, and sorted by date, with the newest post listed first.

We may even want to have these parameters appear in the address bar after a user clicks on a filter or sort link, essentially refreshing the page to include the full URL, so that it can be easily shared.

Here are some examples of wording we might use for the filter and sort URLs:

Filters:
relevant
comments
helpful
featured
all-visible

Sort:
relevance
date
helpfulness
rating

Sort order:
most-relevant
least-relevant
newest
oldest

Similarly, we could use a URL parameter to cause the feedback page to display the latest post from a user, perhaps by adding a '&latest-post=<postID>' at the end of the URL.

With that in mind, other parameter labels not specified here would generally match the wording used in our feature requirements page, under the filter and sort sections:
