For example when you make a new wiki and only enter 1 or 2 chars:
 * This address is too short, choose an address with at least 3 characters

We'd probably usually be told this if asking to manually move a wiki to 1 or 2 characters too.

It seems like there are some exceptions though, like for example the "United States of America Wiki" is actually at w:c:US rather than w:c:USA

There is also w:c:ET parked since 2006, so perhaps that restriction didn't exist in the earlier days. I don't want to be presumption but perhaps w:c:ettheextraterrestrial would want that.

If the issue is that there could be a lot of overlap in demand then perhaps we could set up some kind of waiting/application list where you express the desire for a 2-char URL and if nobody else requests their wiki to get moved to that 2-char URL then you get it?
