[05:31:29] <wikibugs>	 10Traffic, 10MediaWiki-extensions-UrlShortener, 06Operations: Strip query parameters from w.wiki domain - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141170#2489295 (10Legoktm)
[05:40:32] <legoktm>	 bblack: Someone suggested adding a preview feature to UrlShortener...do you have any opinions on that? tinyurl has http://preview.tinyurl.com/wp-tinyurl, but I was thinking a simple query parameter like ?preview=1 or something would be easier to implement
[05:44:41] <ori>	 adds complexity without providing a lot of value, IMO
[05:46:27] <legoktm>	 well the value is knowing where you're sent before actually being sent there...ideally with the domain whitelist you can be assured that everything you might end up at is safe, but we still have some externally hosted stuff within those domains
[05:48:47] <legoktm>	 and apparently most major shorteners provide this feature too, just in super convoluted ways: https://www.dynadot.com/community/blog/2013/04/preview-short-links.html
[05:56:28] <ori>	 I get the theoretical value, I just think it won't be used by more than five people
[06:01:36] <legoktm>	 ok :)
[06:02:04] <legoktm>	 I think the query parameter thing should be the last thing from the traffic/ops side then
