Hi Legoktm and others, I have a use case for which Wikimedia shortlinks that could be edited (to adapt to the changing locations of intended targets) could be useful. However, http://urlshortener.wmflabs.org/ comes with the disclaimer "DO NOT USE THIS SITE FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN TESTING. IT WILL GO AWAY." Is there any chance of having a stable long-term URL shortener in the next few months?
