<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style>This is why one needs ShortURL. Will this bug </span><a href="http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1450" style>bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1450</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style> ever get some attention that its due? Note:- Tamil Wiki generally uses <a href="http://tawp.in">tawp.in</a> shortened URLs, there is an open bug in it, I thought we will wait for the official extension rather than spending time to fix it. I think its safe to assume that ShortURL will not see end of tunnel atleast for few more months, So I would look around fixing it. There seems no point in waiting for deployment. I am disappointed.</span></div>
