Description

On July 14th Comms will be launching Diff, a community blog. It's a continuation of Wikimedia Space and the Wikimedia blog before it. We are using the same WordPress instance as blog.wikimedia. org hosted on WordPress VIP. We wish to redirect all traffic to blog.wikimedia.org to diff.wikimedia.org. The URL structure will remain the same (/year/month/day/article-slug/

I wanted to give our friends in Operations a head's up well in advance so we can coordinate preparations.

Is this done now as the deadline was a month ago and blog.wikimedia.org/Foo is now redirecting to diff.wikimedia.org/Foo

Thanks @Nintendofan885 for the reminder. Resolved!

Was this done on blog.wikimedia.org itself without needing a change by SRE?

Yes, this was handled on the host side of things. Sorry for the noise.
