# Breaking: #73602 - Short-URL without ?id=ID removed {#breaking-73602}

See [forge#73602](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73602)

## Description {#description}

The support for resolving URLs using `index.php?23` instead of `index.php?id=23` with no real GET parameter given
has been removed.

The method `$TSFE->setIDfromArgV()` has been removed as well.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling a frontend page with the short-handed URL will result in not detecting a page ID at all.

Calling `$TSFE->setIDfromArgV()` directly within PHP will result in a fatal PHP error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any TYPO3 installation with an extension using the pre-4.0 syntax.

## Migration {#migration}

Use the proper `index.php?id=23` when using URLs to be called in the frontend.
