18632	wp_get_shortlink() Should Always Return a URL	cais		"Currently the code used in the link-template.php file causes the `wp_get_shortcode` function to return an empty result if the WordPress installation is using the default permalink structure. This causes at least issues with `the_shortcode` function and can be expected to cause issues any place that `wp_get_shortcode` is called when the default permalink structure is being used.

An alternative is to simply make the inline documentation state an empty result will be returned when the default permalink structure is used."	defect (bug)	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Template	3.1	normal		has-patch needs-testing	chip@…
