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 :)
