Hi there, may I ask what link shorteners provide you that w3id does not? Eg baked in metrics or 10char urls? Just curious why you would want to reimplement.

Hi!
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.I don't think it'd be very high. It would require building infrastructure that Wiki extension already has, and for sole purpose of implementing functionality that is already provided by that extension. So I think the best way here is just to wait until it's deployed, and maybe gently prod responsible people from time to time :)
