There is a tradeoff between providing information and actually managing to shorten the URL. Providing a traditional URL shortener with traditional features would be useful, at least for some people, and would eliminate the need to use third-party URL shorteners internally, which have a commercial focus and unknown lifetime. If there was no integration with MW required, it would only take a couple of hours to set up. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
