  • path: ShortUrl path (e.g. "/Special:ShortUrl/q45t")
  • code: ShortUrl code (e.g. "q45t")
• A new query action (action=shorturl), which returns details about specified short URL codes.
  • template: a string formatting template for ShortUrl paths (e.g. "/Special:ShortUrl/$1")
  • an array of details for each code specified in the query
