These don't resolve:

  • auditcom.m.wikimedia.org
  • boardgovcom.m.wikimedia.org
  • board.m.wikimedia.org
  • chair.m.wikimedia.org
  • affcom.m.wikimedia.org
  • collab.m.wikimedia.org
  • donate.m.wikimedia.org
  • exec.m.wikimedia.org
  • grants.m.wikimedia.org
  • iegcom.m.wikimedia.org
  • internal.m.wikimedia.org
  • login.m.wikimedia.org
  • movementroles.m.wikimedia.org
  • noboard-chapters.m.wikimedia.org
  • ombuds.m.wikimedia.org
  • otrs-wiki.m.wikimedia.org (resolves)
  • searchcom.m.wikimedia.org
  • spcom.m.wikimedia.org
  • thankyou.m.wikipedia.org not needed
  • transitionteam.m.wikimedia.org
  • wikimania.m.wikimedia.org (resolves)
  • wikimania2005.m.wikimedia.org (resolves)
  • wikimania2006.m.wikimedia.org (resolves)
  • wikimaniateam.m.wikimedia.org (resolves)
  • zero.m.wikimedia.org (non 'm' version has been deleted)

These are not expected to resolve, the wikis are not sitting behind varnish which does some special handling for this:
labtestwikitech.m.wikimedia.org
wikitech.m.wikimedia.org

It doesn't make much sense to add labtestwikitech given T120527. The rest of these can probably just be done easily, might want to be careful with login and zero but I doubt mobile variants of those appearing would automatically hurt anything.

wikimania.wikimedia.org has address 198.35.26.96
Host wikimania.m.wikimedia.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

The swap of Traffic for Traffic-Icebox in this ticket's set of tags was based on a bulk action for all such tickets that haven't been updated in 6 months or more. This does not imply any human judgement about the validity or importance of the task, and is simply the first step in a larger task cleanup effort. Further manual triage and/or requests for updates will happen this month for all such tickets. For more detail, have a look at the extended explanation on the main page of Traffic-Icebox . Thank you!

added checkboxes, checked those that already resolve meanwhile

Oh, zabe already did it https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/dns/+/890908

I wonder if the traffic team sees any blocker here to just add the missing .m. names to DNS.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2023-02-22T17:17:33Z] <sukhe> running authdns-update for T152882 / CR 890908

Hey teammates and cc @Dzahn as you recommended us posting here in regard to the issue @Pcoombe found and reported in T368645.

Can we update this task's description and take the 'not needed' strikeout off of donate.m.wikimedia.org; and prioritize even a temporary fix while trying to resolve it directly with Google?

As PCoombe mentioned, having donate.m.wikimedia.org simply redirect to donate.wikimedia.org would be fine.

From our side, this is an important issue to resolve quickly, as we know many donations start as Google searches, and we are getting donations all the time; particularly as one Fiscal Year ends and a new one ramps up. There are also pages on donate.wikimedia.org, particularly the Other Ways to Give page, that are breaking in search results because of this unwanted insertion of .m. in the URL.

Thank you!

Let me fix the case of donate.m.
