The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Currently the links to edit the source(s) of a broken link are shown on the report in the format "Edit node @nid" and "Edit comment @cid". This isn't particularly user friendly however I assume this was done due to performance. I don't think a call to node_load_multiple() and comment_load_multiple() for each link should cause major issues.
Patch to follow.

msmithcti commentedThis patch loads any nodes and comments before printing the links to them, allowing the inclusion of the title which should help users to know exactly what the link allows them to edit.

hass commentedThat was mostly done for table column size reasons. With title the table will be extremly large and do not fit on a screen.

RumpledElf commentedJust chiming in, we had a client ask why the broken link report doesn't show which pages have broken links.
The node/id format is *really* not user friendly. Could it be an option to use full titles vs node IDs?

quadrexdevD7 reached its EOL back in January 2025, and there is no active release for D7 for this module anymore.
Development or support is not planned for D7. All D7-related issues are marked as outdated in a bunch.
If the issue remains relevant for D10+ versions, merge requests with proposed solutions for a new module version (D10+) are welcome in a new follow-up issue.
Thanks!
