After confirming the action from Special:PagePreparation, I got a link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount?action=edit and in the history I see https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension%3AConfirmAccount&diff=1107033&oldid=1012488

- The link should not append ?action=edit but use fullurl:
Why so? As we are saying "You can [edit] it", it would be better to take the user to the editing window, I feel.

Also, the same behavior for edit summary is expected in case of Special:PageMigration.

Hi Nemo,

I had mentioned this, you din't reply. It does not use the full URL in the merged patch.
Ok. Please look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#URL_data again, the second example shows how an action=edit URL should look.
It uses, and has always used (ever since it was introduced in a65a6a2), mw.Title.getUrl(). I didn’t try Special:PagePreparation (I didn’t want to create garbage), but trying out mw.Title.getUrl() directly, it should emit URLs that include index.php. (Even though I don’t think it should look like that – it can look however it happens to look like, as long as it works for any title, even those that contain question marks and the like.)
