I've suggested for years that we ask for w.org. It is a reserved domain
name that we could ask IANA to grant to us. The X.Org Foundation has
x.org (grandfathered in), and I believe we have a compelling argument
for wanting the domain. Plus, it likely wouldn't cost us anything,
unlike all the other options. We should at least ask. The worst that can
happen is they say no.

Hi all,
working on Wikipedia mobile app I realized that urls we want to share
are too long sometimes and this is a problem when your maximum number
of characters is limited. I think that Wikipedia should provide an own
shortner url service, like goo.gl, bit.ly etc.. There's just an
unofficial service for English Wikipedia: enwp.org... Petan on IRC
proposed something like this:
wm.org/language/Article
for example
wm.org/en/Prague
Ok, wm.org is not free actually, but we can think about something
similar... What do you think?
