Hello,
I saw some information on Twitter
<https://twitter.com/f_u_e_n_t_e/status/1171739406249734144> about the fact
that TinyURL apparently implemented some url-encoding that causes various
issues, but I couldn't find any official announcement yet.
The new Wikimedia URL shortener
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_URL_Shortener> is in place since
April 2019 but is not really adapted for external Wikibase instance, as it
can only generate links pointing to a few services hosted by WMF.
I guess that if the issue with TinyURL persists, a solution could be to
switch to another service or implement your own.
Cheers,
Léa
