Hi,
YuviPanda, prtksxna, and myself (with help from Tim and Aaron) have been
working the UrlShortener extension, which is designed to implement the
URL shortener RfC[1] (specifically Tim's implementation suggestion).
I've filed T108557[2] to deploy the extension to Wikimedia wikis. We'd
like to use the "w.wiki" short domain, which the WMF is already in
control of.
A test wiki has been set up mimicking what Wikimedia's configuration
would be like:
http://urlshortener.wmflabs.org/, and has an accompanying
"short" domain at
us.wmflabs.org (e.g.
http://us.wmflabs.org/3). Please
play with it and report any bugs you might find :)
