Use https://twitter.com/i/user/{numerical_id} to link to twitter on artist page

Currently when we want to record the (numerical) id of a Twitter user (since screen name, or handle, can be changed), we use

https://twitter.com/intent/user?user_id=1000698509471854593

this kinda works, but everytime you click it, not only it would jump to the current screen name as we want (in format of https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=marebosi ) , Twitter will also make a popup to ask you to follow them, which is kinda annoying.

There is actually another format of link for numerical id, which is

https://twitter.com/i/user/1000698509471854593

This will also jump to the current user screen name (in format of https://twitter.com/marebosi ), but without the side effect of asking you to follow.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, I've known about that other format for a while. That would generate a whole lot of churn though, updating every single artist to the new format. I'd be willing to do that though if that is acceptable.

+1 to this

The URLs are normalized to the intent form by Danbooru so there would have to be a code change first. Then a script could be run on the server to update them quicker instead of having a user do it.

Yeah, if we're going to do it, ideally we should update the auto-parser/processor on the server side and use a bot to update all the existing links (or just directly on server side).

I opened issue #5368 for it. We'll have to wait and see what evazion prefers.
