There is a problem using page title in URL: it doesn't work well for non-latim based alphabets. For example this is how cyrillic link look like: https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BB_%D0%95%D0%B2%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%84%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87_%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%82%D1%8B%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2-%D0%A9%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BD

Is it possible to use IDs of pages in URL instead of titles?

The only idea I can think of would be to install Extension:ShortUrl and use JavaScript in the frontend to replace the long URL with the short URL in the user's browser. The Bengali Wikipedia offers short links using this plugin, where https://bn.wikipedia.org/s/qvm redirects to the full title.
