Description

As an individual in the Wikimedia community with a known, public affinity[0] for foxes,
I would like a humorous (but otherwise pointless) redirect to exist from https://fox.wikimedia.org to the full protected (sysop) meta-wiki page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:TheresNoTime/Foxes (or alternatively just to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox),
So that another level of cuteness[1] is introduced. And it'd make a pretty cool social media post. 🤷‍♀️

nb. I've checked that fox is not an ISO 639-* language code :-)

Is there any particular reason we desire to enable additional tech-debt by having to maintain this for years to come?
