Hi there, may I ask what link shorteners provide you that w3id does not? Eg baked in metrics or 10char urls? Just curious why you would want to reimplement.

I don't think it'd be very high. It would require building
infrastructure that Wiki extension already has, and for sole purpose of
implementing functionality that is already provided by that extension.
So I think the best way here is just to wait until it's deployed, and
maybe gently prod responsible people from time to time :)
