Consistent entry-link list

Title:
Consistent entry-link list

Area:
entries

Summary:
Make the 'link' link (in the entry-management-links) consistent, instead of making it disappear once a comment's posted to an entry.

Description:
The 'link' link is a duplicate of the post's title (in most styles, at least), and once a single reply has been posted to an entry, this 'link' link goes away. That's bad usability, because when one gets used to looking for 'link' to get a clean URL for a post, it doesn't matter whether or not there's been a reply; the removal of the link interrupts the smooth usability of the learned process.

Either retain the 'link' permanently -- it's not harming anything to stay there, after all -- or remove it permanently.

My preference, personally, is to keep the 'link' link in the interaction list, all the time. If you think the best solution is to remove the link-link altogether, I'd count that as a yes-answer (in that you're agreeing it needs to have consistent appearance), but the poll won't let us do multiple options for 'yes'. I guess to clarify which you want (keep completely or remove completely), use the comments.

If an entry subject contains a link or a user tag the rest of the subject behind that is not linked. It's in Bugzilla, but I don't think it's assigned at the moment.
