Everything I had seen suggests that no URLs go through, but a little
Googling suggests that there is a whitelist:

That said, every other source I can find mentioning a whitelist points back
at that same article - no one seems to have independently confirmed that.
So I'll poke some folks but don't hold your breath :)

Thank you.
Some URLs go though, others do not. I doubt it's random ;-)

I can ask around, but I've not heard of them
even having a whitelist for
this situation - do we know for a fact that's the case?

For some months, Twitter have been blocking most
URLs in their direct
messages (DMs), supposedly as an anti-spam measure.
Do we have someone who has a contact there, who could ask them to
whitelist Wikimedia project URLs in DMs?
