- samuell 9y agoI hope this doesn't change too. Felt I had to use it to link a humongous wikidata SPARQL query in a (software) research paper recently.
- omeid2 9y agoI think in content intented for long term it is always better to use the canonical address, possibly in a footnote if it is too long. Better yet also include an alternative link to an archive like https://archive.li/ https://archive.li/ or similar.
- mcast 9y agoI hope you added the entire link in an appendix, otherwise it’s not Google’s fault for ruining your paper.
- samuell 9y agoThe query itself is available in a screenshot. Also a pretty periferal part of the paper. Looked/thought hard about options but did not come up with better at the time. But wanted to highlight how important it is for parties starting such services to have a plan for longevity. Hopefully Goog will keep old links going for a long time.
