For many events at Wikimedia NYC, we use a shortcut -- once you're on
Wikipedia -- like "WP:Harlem" also known as "Wikipedia:Harlem"
The redirect (before it redirects):
I understand why URL shorteners are non ideal. I support that I guess.
These Wikipedia shortcuts have been very helpful although they probably
don't work across projects. Another reason to avoid Meta #sigh

I don't, it probably depends on what
shorteners are most used for spam
purposes across Wikimedia projects. Maybe someone familiar with URL
blacklisting from major wikis can comment?
Nearly all URL shorteners get blacklisted, eventually.
that makes sense. It sounds like in the short term (and until we have a
Wikimedia-operated shortener), using full URLs from WDQS is – alas – the
only way to go. One option we haven't mentioned would be for WDQS itself to
support URL shortening, I have no idea where that would sit in terms of
priorities.
