Category:Pages with a Noisebridge Tiny URL
What?
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?
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.

Changes we could make
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
