w.wiki is cool, but a one-letter shortcut[1] is even cooler 😎
Good options include:
- .com and .net TLDs are unavailable 🚫
- w.org is already taken by WordPress 💔
- w.page is a good option ("Wikipedia page")! It's a bit long, though 📜
- However, it's only $1,768.66 USD a year, according to Namecheap! 💰
- w.ac and w.co are available and probably the best options 🎉
- w.ac could symbolize "Wikimedia: [it's] About Community!" 👯
- .co could symbolize "community o'clock" ⏰
- .ac is priced at 5 BTC or ~17K USD at time of writing
- .co is priced in the "low seven figures" USD (1+ million)
- It's a lot of 💸, but surprisingly less than expected
What does this contribute to the community? Nothing! It'd just be fun to have a supershort URL 🔗 someday.

- ^ with a TLD that is two letters long instead of four
