My understanding (based on creating QR code templates
in Wikipedia and
discussing this issue some months ago) is that Wikimedia does not own
enwp.org. If this has changed or someone is prepared to negotiate with
the owner I would like to know as this might be of immediate benefit
in how QR codes can be shortened as currently best practice forces us
to not use it as an official redirect method (though I use it
informally as below).
The owner of
enwp.org seems to be one Thomas Kjoerberg.
Incidentally, enWN also has
enwn.net, and it's built right in to the
wiki; look for the "Shorten URL" link down the left. This is owned by
Jon Davis (ShakataGaNai), an enWN crat, and current WMF employee.
