This problem is that if I have a node open I don't know what it's ID is. When I have found an older node that answers a new question I think it would be prudent to reference that answering node as opposed to creating another almost duplicate node and I have difficulty finding the node ID as it is not listed. I have to go back to the previous page a look for the URL that links to it.

Could we get the NodeID displayed in front of the node title. Something like ...

This would make it far easier when answering questions with results found in Super Search or for e.g. pointing to a node (you may have open in another window) in the ChatterBox. We could immediately identify what should go into the [id://]field.

Of all the things I've lost in my life, its my mind I miss the most.
