Hi Arturo, This is great news! The tool urls will be definitely prettier this way.
Currently, it is possible to link to a Toolforge-hosted service from a WMF wiki with the following wikicode: [[:toollabs:editgroups/b/OR/f813407aad/|my link]] which links to https://tools.wmflabs.org/editgroups/b/OR/f813407aad/ Do you have any plans to migrate this to any other syntax? I assume the new scheme would make it hard, since the tool name and the URL path are separated. Serving permanent redirects to the new URL scheme is a good idea. It is very important for this editgroups tool as there are millions of links to it in edit summaries (which are not editable).
