--- Comment #3 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> 2012-11-13 23:45:58 UTC --- Certain types of Echo notifications are going to be broadcast using XMPP. These notifications can then be picked up and rebroadcast as IRC posts, Twitter messages, SMS messages, etc. For some of these mediums, shortened URLs are very useful. Even for email notifications, it would be nice to be able to use shortened URLs. Most of the URLs will be article or user page links, but not always. Sometimes they will be links to diffs. Another legitimate use-case is for the WMF Comminications Dept. They would very much like to be able to use shortened URLs in tweets, blog posts, etc. without resorting to a 3rd party service. A 3rd legitimate use-case is fundraising. We commonly post links to our fundraising landing pages on social media and in emails to past donors. Right now these URLs look something like: https://donate.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:LandingCheck?landing_page=L12_0615_JW&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=none&utm_source=B12_061522_Jimmy&language=en&country=US -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
