#REDIRECT [[Category:Pages_with_a_Noisebridge_Tiny_URL]]
 
nburl.net is simply 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 wii page for it. From there you can create short titled wiki pages and redirect to anything else on the wiki or provide a clickable link to someplace else on the internet.
 
Why do it this way? Because spinning up and maintaining a new service is annoying (why the old nburl service died) and pretty much anyone can edit the wiki.
 
=How to use our URL shortening service=
 
==Redirecting to short titled wiki pages==
 
<tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/About</nowiki></tt>
 
Take the title of the page and stick it in after <tt style="color: green">nburl.net/</tt> ...
 
<tt style="color: green"><nowiki>nburl.net/about</nowiki></tt>
 
When you go to the short URL, your browser is redirected as such...
 
<tt style="color: green">nburl.net/about </tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: blue"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/about </nowiki></tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/About</nowiki></tt>
 
 
 
==Redirecting to annoying_and_hard_to_remember titled wiki pages==
 
<tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maps_of_2169_Mission</nowiki></tt>
 
Since the title is rather long, let's create a new page on the wiki called <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>map</nowiki></tt>...
 
<tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/map</nowiki></tt>
 
Inside this new <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>map</nowiki></tt> page we're going to add in 1 line to redirect to <tt style="color: red"><nowiki>Maps_of_2169_Mission</nowiki></tt>...
 
<pre>#REDIRECT [[Maps_of_2169_Mission]]</pre>
 
Take the title of the new shorter <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>map</nowiki></tt> page and stick it in after <tt style="color: green">nburl.net/</tt> ...
 
<tt style="color: green"><nowiki>nburl.net/map</nowiki></tt>
 
When you go to the short URL, your browser is redirected as such...
 
<tt style="color: green">nburl.net/map </tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: blue"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/map </nowiki></tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/map </nowiki></tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maps_of_2169_Mission</nowiki></tt>
 
 
 
==Redirecting to internet links not on the wiki==
 
<tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://html5zombo.com</nowiki></tt>
 
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 <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>zombo</nowiki></tt>...
 
<tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/zombo</nowiki></tt>
 
Inside this new <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>zombo</nowiki></tt> page we're just going to pazte a link to <tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://html5zombo.com</nowiki></tt>...
 
<pre>https://html5zombo.com</pre>
 
Take the title of the new shorter <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>zombo</nowiki></tt> page and ztick it in after <tt style="color: green">nburl.net/</tt> ...
 
<tt style="color: green"><nowiki>nburl.net/zombo</nowiki></tt>
 
When you go to the short URL, your browser is redirected as zuch...
 
<tt style="color: green">nburl.net/zombo </tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: blue"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/zombo </nowiki></tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>https://noisebridge.net/wiki/zombo </nowiki></tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: red"><nowiki>C</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>l</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: blue"><nowiki>i</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: magenta"><nowiki>c</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: cyan"><nowiki>k </nowiki></tt><tt style="color: lime"><nowiki>L</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: red"><nowiki>i</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: orange"><nowiki>n</nowiki></tt><tt style="color: blue"><nowiki>k </nowiki></tt> <tt style="color: black; font-size:200%"> &#8594; </tt> <tt style="color: red"><nowiki>https://html5zombo.com</nowiki></tt>
