# Shortlinks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A way of referencing URLs without typing out the full domain.
|
|
|
|
|
- Common shorthands for websites are mutually agreed upon.
|
|
|
|
|
- Commonly:
|
|
|
|
|
- `gh/[user]/[repo]#[issue]` links to
|
|
|
|
|
`https://github.com/[user]/[repo]/issues/[issue]`: `repo` and `issue` are
|
|
|
|
|
omittable in the case that only a user or only a repository are wanted to
|
|
|
|
|
be linked to.
|
|
|
|
|
- Same for `gl` but to GitLab instead of GitHub.
|
|
|
|
|
- Same for `gd` but to GitDab.
|
|
|
|
|
- `tw/[user]` links to `https://twitter.com/[user]`.
|
|
|
|
|
- `sw/[id]` links to
|
|
|
|
|
`https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=[id]`.
|
|
|
|
|
- References to the [[Agora]] could also be made shortlinks, perhaps
|
|
|
|
|
`ag/[node]`?
|
|
|
|
|
- Shortlinks aim to emulate the automatic link replacements of the website
|
|
|
|
|
in question.
|
|
|
|
|
- `gh/[content]` should behave the same as if `[content]` was posted on
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub itself.
|
|
|
|
|
- `tw/[user]` should replace the functionality of mentioning `@user` on
|
|
|
|
|
Twitter.

## Shortlink Guidelines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Shortlinks should start with an identifier and a slash, such as `tw/` or
|
|
|
|
|
`abc/`.
|
|
|
|
|
- The identifier is not restricted to two characters, but most common ones
|
|
|
|
|
can be condensed to two characters.
|
|
|
|
|
- Shortlinks should not be URIs themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
- Shortlinks should not obfuscate content, like a traditional link shortener.
