- @Cantons-de-l'Est: It is using mw:Extension:ShortUrl. Besides Tamil Wikipedia, I also saw this on ne.wiki and mai.wiki. Kenrick95 (talk) 03:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Kenrick95 and Mdmahir : I know that feature, but my proposal is larger. For instance, https://ta.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B4%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A8%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%9F%E0%AF%81&oldid=2030890 is the precise version of a page, and https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/jo is only good for the last version of that page. https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/jo is short, but not short enough. Instead, I would like to see https://wik.ly/45TRyu.
jois a good case ID because it is only two characters, but this is unusual ;45TRtuis the usual case ID, because the length of such IDs are usually 6 or shorter. Finally, my proposal is for any wiki, Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary... Cantons-de-l'Est (talk) 17:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)- Ah, I see what you mean. I think you should point this explanation out in the project idea page, so people (like me) will not think that mw:Extension:ShortUrl is what you wanted. Cheers.

April 12 Proposal Deadline: Is your project ready for funding? edit
The deadline for Individual Engagement Grant (IEG) submissions this round is April 12th, 2016. If you’ve developed your idea into a project that would benefit from funding, consider applying!
To apply, you must (1) create a draft request using the “Expand into an Individual Engagement Grant” button on your idea page, (2) complete the proposal entirely, filling in all empty fields, and (3) change the status from "draft" to "proposed." As soon as you’re ready, you should begin to invite any communities affected by your project to provide feedback on your proposal talk page.
If you have any questions about IEG or would like support in developing your proposal, we're hosting a few proposal help sessions this month in Google Hangouts:
- April 5th, 16:00 - 17:00 UTC
- April 8th 1:00 - 2:00 UTC
- April 12th 16:00 - 17:00 UTC
I'm also happy to set up an individual session. With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 00:38, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
