Description

This extension makes it easy to create short, official w.wiki links for any Wikimedia project page, including Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wiktionary, and more. Instead of copying long, hard-to-share URLs, just click the extension button or use the right-click context menu. The extension will contact the official Wikimedia URL Shortener service on Meta-Wiki, generate a valid w.wiki link, and copy it directly to your clipboard. You’ll also see a simple notification confirming that the short link has been created. Key features: • Shorten any Wikipedia or Wikimedia project URL to a compact w.wiki link. • One-click toolbar button and context menu integration for quick access. • Automatic copy to clipboard so the short link is ready to paste. • Clean confirmation notifications. • Works only with official Wikimedia Foundation projects, ensuring safe and predictable results. • No data collection, tracking, or analytics — the extension does not store or share any personal information. Single purpose: This extension exists solely to generate w.wiki links for Wikimedia project pages. It does not interact with any other sites or services.
