Great work! How do we add same feature in other Indic wikipedia like Bengali/Odia ?
To host it yourself like
tawp.in follow the steps
1. Get a domain name.
2. Install node.js[1] and shortify[2] in your server.
3. Do minor changes in redirect.js in the shortify code to get suitable url pattern.
4. Add the shortify userscript in Mediawiki:vector.js (If you want to make it global to Wiki) or your vector skin while testing.
5. Modify the shortify userscript[3] to change the location where the short link comes, by default it comes below username (display breaks for anon users with the Narayam extn on, so change it to somewhere else on the page)
The above is hard way. Easy way is to localize shortify so that User:Mountain will host it for you under
defn.me domain name. It supports tamil, malayalam now since they were localized already. Do check your language page
http://defn.me/s/or OR
http://defn.me/s/<LangCode> for instructions. Its 10 min job :) (If you got problems here, send me across the localized file, i can commit in github if thats your problem)
Anoopan,
It works in ml since it was already localized :)
Jayanta nath / Subhasish,
You can also consider PrettyURL[4] from ml wiki. Pesture Shiju / other ml friends :). Its just a template, but the problem is one needs to run a bot for all existing articles to add the template with a fancy name.But ml wiki is primarily using english names, transliterated text to form pretty urls. Just as i type, Santhosh replied. More on another reply.
