Motivation[edit]
Many services and organizations have URL shorteners that cannot be represented currently on Wikidata. A property for this would be useful for cataloging them. It would be a subproperty of URL (P2699), like search formatter URL (P4354). It can use the qualifier statement is subject of (P805) if an item for the URL shortener exists.

Comment Do you anticipate some use for this in Wikidata where the shortener would be paired with the id (as a qualifier in some way) so that applications could apply the formatter directly? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:50, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- @ArthurPSmith: I couldn't think of an example but that is what I had in mind. There could be a future property called "shortened URL ID" which can be a qualifier to identifiers, or as a reference with a complementary stated in (P248) value. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 17:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
