I don't think Wikimedia is currently looking at maintaining a url shortening service.
However, a redirect domain (distinguished by whether or not the target url can be trivially derived from the request url) seems much more feasible. Especially considering Wikimedia is actually maintaining dozens (if not, hundreds) of those already. https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-puppet/blob/12617ad/modules/mediawiki/files/apache/sites/redirects/redirects.dat https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-puppet/blob/12617ad/modules/mediawiki/files/apache/sites/redirects.conf It'd be a a two-line redirect using RewriteRule. — Krinkle On 22 Feb 2015, at 16:20, Petr Bena <benap...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Long time ago I purchased domain cswp.cz in order to use it in same > way as enwp.org for czech wikipedia (cswp.org was taken by something). > > I think that it would be probably better if it was owned and > maintained by WMF rather than me, but I don't really know where to > ask, neither if ops are actually interested in maintaining it, the > script which redirects the page is pretty simple: > > <?php > $uri = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; > $target = "http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki";; > header ("Location: $target"."$uri"); > exit(); > > I can't really provide any data on usage of this domain, because I > never collected any, but if there isn't any long-term plan for global > wiki shorteners I think this domain could be used. > > Thank you > > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
