Use-cases?

I'm killing the design keyword for now as I'm not convinced this will need design help.

Use-cases?

For linking to a specific log entry. If a user has performed many actions on a page, it may be difficult to find a link to give for a specific entry (and to not display any others).

For the other proposed feature, I think it would be much easier to just have a "frozen" link for the current list of log entries than to have to find the timestamp and manually add it to the query string.
Specific example: Maybe you want to show when a steward has locked or done other actions in a specific time frame. You could look for the timestamp of the latest action and use offset param (e.g., https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/globalauth/Vituzzu&dir=prev&offset=20140117123451), or there could just be a link that does this for you.

Sorry.

Can I work on this?

So this task is basically about an easy way to obtain a link such as https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/globalauth/Vituzzu&dir=prev&offset=20140117123451&limit=1 ?

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Redirect/logid/7091497 is the short link for that

T207562: Implement "links-in-logs" user script in MediaWiki itself is for making such links easier to find
