Description

(a) https://w.wiki/BDo and (b) https://w.wiki/BCR both lead to the same page.

(a) was given this link to shorten:
https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%96%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%96%D1%8F:%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82:%D0%A2%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C/%D0%9C%D1%96%D1%81%D1%8F%D1%86%D1%8C_%D0%90%D0%B7%D1%96%D1%97_2019
while (b) is for https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Вікіпедія:Проект:Тематичний_тиждень/Місяць_Азії_2019

This brings little trouble to the reader but seems to be overusing the UrlShortener means.

My apologies, @Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, do you by chance know whom should I ping so that this task gets triaged? I'd be grateful to know whether it's an issue or it's nothing to worry about :)

(I don't think that Lea_Lacroix_WMDE is involved in this project? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers lists Core Platform Team as maintainers...)

Indeed, this project is owned by the Core Platform Team at WMF.
