Thanks much Yuvi. Great work. Looking forward for more hacks. I would post
about this in Wikitech list and ask for suggestions / using the extension
across Indic / non latin wikimedia projects. Probably we can rename as
TidyURL since its not really short and short is not we care about,tidy is
Great work. Congratulations.

If you add the following line on your vector.js
(User:Your_WikiUserName/vecotr.js) you can see the short url on top right
of every page like http://defn.me/r/ml/1c . I have tested it on Malayalam
Wikipedia and it is working fine there.
importScript(User:Mountain/shorturl.js);
Please make sure
Great initiative, really appreciable effort, even we would love to include
the same in Odia Wiki. And everytime I need to post anything on Twitter I

Hi,
URL shortners will not improve the search hits.
The above solution allows one to share the non latin wiki url using
English alphabets and Arabic numerals. Personally I would prefer a URL

Hi Srikanth,
Well done on the URL shortening work.
Wikimedia should take this and do a centralized shortening service. If each
Wikimedia project is going to have different domain names Wikimedia branding
value gets diluted. Also, the domain names, service need to be maintained
forever and can't
Happy to note that more communities started thinking about this issue. I
remember raising this issue way back in 2009 or early 2010. But there were
not much takers then.
Happy to announce that Short URLs are now available in every page of Tamil
Wikipedia.
Need to do some UI testing. For
Hi Shiju,
In fact redirect pages are very much required for each wiki article. We
never know what all keywords people will use to search for wiki articles.
All the possible keywords should be made redirects.
In fact if you are not creating the redirect page *India* for the article
After talking with Srikanth for a bit more, I was able to quickly
hackup this mediawiki extension[1] that does exactly the same thing

So you'll have URLs like
http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ShortUrl/262. While definitely

Happy to see the work on URL shortener. Congratulations for everyone

that they print the domain name in the native language rather than use
English
