I thought the biggest reason to get a url shortener was suggested as links
in and from non-latin languages, the issue was character encoding for
non-latin scripts.

But if we're considering top level domains already, how about our own tld
for all the projects. The foundation already has hundreds of projects, a
single tld for all current and future project- .wmf or .wiki.
