Summary

Description
English: URL shortening services have been around in internet for a long time now, Wikimedia fully blocked them as they are used to mask spam. As the result, we needed to have a URL shortener to use in projects and a request made six years ago and earlier this year it went live. You can read more about Wikimedia URL shortener in https://w.wiki/Q8

This session is trying to answer why it took six years to deploy this new feature and try to point out to lessons learned for future infrastructural projects for the coming years.
