Serlo-ID (How to Link Articles)

Every piece of learning content on serlo.org has a unique number, the so-called Serlo-ID.

You always need the Serlo-ID if you want to

  • link to certain serlo.org pages

  • include tasks in courses or articles

You will find the Serlo ID of an article, a course page or a Serlo folder hidden in the URL of your learning content. It is a 4 to 6 digit number.

Example in the German

For example, this article has the ID 155311 and can also be accessed via the URL en.serlo.org/155311.

Using the Serlo ID

You can use this ID if you want to recommend a content using a short URL. You can also share this article via de.serlo.org/155311 and do not have to use the longer URL de.serlo.org/community/155311/serlo-id.

You can also use the Serlo ID to link to content from serlo.org within learning content. Here you can see an example of a link to a Serlo article within an assignment solution:

Note: When you link in the editor, you also need the "/" (like in the picture above "/2193").
