Yes, we thought of it (T112715) but since Wikimedia's own URL shortener
(T108557) is not up yet, we have to use what is there.got itIf you have an idea of a shortener more suitable than tinyurl.com, we could replace/add
it. So far we didn't find a better alternative.I don't, it probably depends on what shorteners are most used for spam purposes across Wikimedia projects. Maybe someone familiar with URL blacklisting from major wikis can comment?
