Thanks much Yuvi. Great work. Looking forward for more hacks. I would post about this in Wikitech list and ask for suggestions / using the extension across Indic / non latin wikimedia projects. Probably we can rename as TidyURL since its not really short and short is not we care about,tidy is important(its a nice to have). Some more support for using the extension on all projects will do good in seeing this in real :)<div>

Short Update.<br>
<br>
As requested by Srikanth, I&#39;ve implemented the user configurable &quot;URL<br>
Prefix&quot; so any domain with proper forwarding can be used. I&#39;ve also<br>
added a link by default to Toolbox. Will add base64 encoding soon.<br>
<br>
The Extension is live at <a href="http://wiki.busroutes.in" target="_blank">http://wiki.busroutes.in</a>. Example &#39;short&#39; url<br>
is <a href="http://wiki.busroutes.in/wiki/Special:ShortUrl/18q" target="_blank">http://wiki.busroutes.in/wiki/Special:ShortUrl/18q</a>. We could<br>
implement mod_rewrite rule and get it much shorter.<br>
<br>
Is there interest in getting this out to tawiki? We could have URLs<br>
like, <a href="http://ta.wikipedia.org/r/1d2" target="_blank">http://ta.wikipedia.org/r/1d2</a> or similiar.<br>
