Shouldn't we set up our own URL-aliasing service?
This would also have the advantage that you could be sure that the
wikimedia shortened urls only lead to wikimedia domains.

eg.:
http://wp.cx/3tT5u7Z 
redirects to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=302589573

http://wp.cx/c
redirects to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License
