Description

Hi SRE, we have a relatively high profile fundraising opportunity coming up and we'd like to drive donations to a short URL. Specifically, we'd like donate.wikimedia.org/wikihole created, and have it redirect to this donation page: https://donate.wikimedia.org/?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=wikihole&utm_source=wikihole

Ideally we'd want this in place before the launch of the opportunity (a podcast) - by February 20th would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Hi from Service Ops SRE!

@AKanji-WMF How long would you like the redirect to stay active?

Adding @Jgreen and @Dwisehaupt from FR-Tech SRE, as I'm not sure where we've historically drawn the responsibility for changes like this. If you're comfortable writing an apache config patch for this redirect, feel free to send me the review, and I'm happy to help with merging, testing, and deploying it. If you haven't gone near that stuff before, I'll confer with my team and we can probably take care of it (but, in future, the more advance notice you can give us, the better).

Thank you @RLazarus ! The fundraising team would like the redirect to be active for two years - considering the life cycle of the podcast and surrounding marketing campaigns. @Jgreen will defer to you on Reuven's question as to who will author the initial patch.

Tagging you @Dwisehaupt as Jeff is out this AM.

@RLazarus Does this really need an apache config patch or just an update to the redirect rules in hieradata/common/mediawiki.yaml?

Sorry yeah, I was using the term broadly. The goal is to edit the Apache config, but that hieradata file is how you'd do it. :)
