Sorry, my bad. I just copied the text over from my Facebook post and wasn’t aware that Facebook had substituted the links.
Cheers, Beat

Hello Beat,
While I thank you for your sharing links of potential value, is there a reason that you appear to be using tracking in your links, including tracking from Facebook? I'm not fond of links that don't go to exactly where the text says that they should go. I don't know whether the links as you sent them are in violation of WMF security or privacy policies for Wikimedia mailing lists, but at a minimum I think that using links that don't go to exactly where the text says that they should go is misleading and bad practice. I don't want, for example, Facebook to know who is clicking on links from a Wikimedia mailing list that, in my opinion, should go directly to a nonprofit organization's website without any tracking from Facebook or other third parties.
