Hi all,
A few days back, there was discussion around ShortUrl[1]. I have made
another small tool(code[2]) which takes English Wiki article name and
redirects to the language Wikipedia. The redirection app is live[3].
interwikiredir.appspot.com/or/Chennai will redirect to Chennai article in
Oriya Wikipedia. We have also made this available as part of
tawp.inshorturl domain, hence
tawp.in/en/ArticleNameInEnglish will redirect to corresponding interwiki
article in Tamil. Building this into a mediawiki extension might be useful
since not all mobiles may support Indic input schemes and first step to read
an article is to type the URL!.
Feedback welcome.

Truly hilarious!
A store in New York uses jugglery in language and extracts from a Wikipedia
article to justify its selling Lobster salad for 15 years without any
lobster!
