 Due to the complicated nature of repository grouping, URLs of repositories

+Such moving of a repository to a group can be an issue for build systems and
+other scripts where the repository paths are hardcoded. To mitigate this,
+Kallithea provides permanent URLs using the repository ID prefixed with an
+underscore. In all Kallithea URLs, for example those for the changelog and the
+file view, a repository name can be replaced by this ``_ID`` string. Since IDs
+are always the same, moving the repository to a different group will not affect
+such URLs.
+
+In the example, the repository could also be accessible as::
 
   http://server.com/_<ID>
 
-Since IDs are always the same, moving the repository will not affect
-such a URL.  the ``_<ID>`` syntax can be used anywhere in the system so
-URLs with ``repo_name`` for changelogs and files can be exchanged
-with the ``_<ID>`` syntax.
-
+The ID of a given repository can be shown from the repository ``Summary`` page,
+by selecting the ``Show by ID`` button next to ``Clone URL``.
