This edit changed a link from

http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Method-Guitar-DVD-ROM-Berklee/dp/0876390696/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

to

http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Method-Guitar-DVD-ROM-Berklee/dp/0876390696/

What does the "ref" parameter to, and why should (or shouldn't) we remove it?

I'd like to know so that I can approve (or reject) the proposed edit.

Any referrer parts of the URL will be removed by Stack Exchange automatically, as any Amazon link in a question or answer will get rewritten with a Stack Exchange referral.

So where the Community user has made this kind of edit, it is an automated edit to remove the user referral.

  • I doubt it. Surely such an automatic edit would go straight through, not into the suggested edits queue?

  • I checked with one of the SE devs - this is what happens.

  • Okay. That's a bit weird.
