About

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.
