/link? Enter your input

Let's generalize this a bit more:

If a gemini URL contains a query string, the client can show an edit

textbox with the existing query string as the pre-filled or suggested

value. The user can then edit the text, or submit it as-is (the

latter would preserve the existing behavior).

But that leaves the question of how the user is meant to know whether they're intended to edit the text or leave it as is. There's plenty of current usage with links with non-empty query component which are meant to be kept.-------------- next part --------------A non-text attachment was scrubbed...Name: signature.ascType: application/pgp-signatureSize: 195 bytesDesc: not availableURL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20210914/5b495e5f/attachment.sig>
