Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> 2012-11-14 00:08:06 UTC --- We really do want to be able to send donors to *specific* landing pages, because sometimes we want to send a specific set of donors to a specific page that we've customized to appeal to them. And that URI might be more than 80 characters long and get mucked by some email clients when the line wraps. I've worked in enough marketing to know that much. On Identi.ca, in https://identi.ca/settings/url , one can choose to use ur1.ca or to choose no URL shortener. For WMF Identi.ca accounts, we could choose the latter and then use our own shortened URLs. The Communications Department has a point -- we try to respect our users' privacy in how we communicate with them in general, so using our own URI shortener when possible, instead of subjecting other people to the tracking of bit.ly or t.co, etc., is a good idea. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
