Offer a query parameter to link to pages with "Show Historic Prices" pre-opened
I maintain a cross-medium wishlist where I have a "More Info" bar on many wishlist entries with links to various sites and one of the things I link to is PriceCharting pages.
It'd be very helpful for streamlining the experience for friends and family if there were a query parameter I could add to my links to restore the old behaviour of having the historical price graph visible without needing to direct them to find and click a tiny link.

Thank you. On mobile, the historic chart is hidden by default. On desktop that should always be visible. I think that has been the behavior for years.
I will see how popular this idea is with other users to add something to the url to display that chart by default on mobile.
That's not the experience I've been getting. I've never been to PriceCharting on mobile and it's hiding it by default on desktop. (How does it detect mobile? Is it that I keep my Firefox narrow so I can fit other stuff on screen?)
Yes, the narrow width will hide it too. The width is what determines when it shows vs when it is hidden, not the device itself. If you expand your browser window you should see it appear at some point.
Well, either way, my purpose is to link to that chart and everything else is just noise forcing me to clutter up the source page with instructions on how to ignore.
(Heck, I'm in Canada, so the bar of USD prices to expect is also semi-noise when you consider how shipping costs factor into things.)
