What?[edit]
A URL Shortener or link shortener is a tool for making URLs easier to remember and type in. Ours is nburl.net.
How does this work?[edit]
nburl.net is a 1-to-1 redirect to our wiki.
Our Mediawiki instance will redirect anything dumped into the root path and see if there's a wiki page for it.
How to use our URL shortening service[edit]
Redirecting to short titled wiki pages[edit]
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/About
Take the title of the page and stick it in after nburl.net/ ...
nburl.net/about
When you go to the short URL, your browser is redirected as such...
nburl.net/about → https://noisebridge.net/about → https://noisebridge.net/wiki/About
Redirecting to annoying_and_hard_to_remember titled wiki pages[edit]
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maps_of_2169_Mission
Since the title is rather long, let's create a stub new page on the wiki called map...
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/map
Click on create at the top of the new page. Inside this new map page we're going to add in 1 line to redirect to Maps_of_2169_Mission...
#REDIRECT [[Maps_of_2169_Mission]]
Take the title of the new shorter map page and stick it in after nburl.net/ ...
nburl.net/map
When you go to the short URL, your browser is redirected as such...
nburl.net/map → https://noisebridge.net/map → https://noisebridge.net/wiki/map → https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maps_of_2169_Mission
Redirecting to internet linkz not on the wiki[edit]
https://html5zombo.com
This URL isn't on Noisebridge's wiki, but it would be nice to have a zimple URL that can direct people with the click of a link to the right place. Let'z create a new page on the wiki called zombo...
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/zombo
Click on create at the top of the new page. Inside this new zombo page we're just going to pazte a link to https://html5zombo.com...
https://html5zombo.com
Take the title of the new shorter zombo page and ztick it in after nburl.net/ ...
nburl.net/zombo
When you go to the short URL, your browser is redirected as zuch...
nburl.net/zombo → https://noisebridge.net/zombo → https://noisebridge.net/wiki/zombo → Click Link → https://html5zombo.com
You can do anything with nburl, anything at all, the only limit is yourself. welcome. the unattainable is unknown at nburl.
Changes we could make[edit]
Around the Noisebridge space are labels such as nburl.net/trash or nburl.net/sewing, which forward to pages on the wiki. By putting a short URL on equipment and objects in the space, we provide a way for people to look up more info.
Ideally, the short URL should lead to a wiki page with the following:
- The instruction manual for this item, or any records related to it
- Where to put the object when you are done with it
- Any scheduling info related to this object, or if it is currently being used by someone else for a project
