To respond to your updated question, according to http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html...

Be careful when using the older argument style, as an extra literal hash is needed:

  link_to "Articles", { :controller => "articles" }, :id => "news", :class => "article"
  # => Articles

Leaving the hash off gives the wrong link:

  link_to "WRONG!", :controller => "articles", :id => "news", :class => "article"
  # => WRONG!
