The missing.php script [1] was a general notice "this wiki does not exist", but recently it was changed to redirect to incubator.wikimedia.org (see bug 30206), with the intention for content projects (Wikipedia, Wikinews, etc).

However, some *.wikimedia.org wikis also rely on the script apparently: langcom/nomcom/comcom/liquidthreads.labs/strategyapps .wikimedia.org

They were closed but unlike other closed wikis such as searchcom/usability.wikimedia.org, they were removed from the database list [2] which causes them to use missing.php.

We could re-add them to that list and add to the closed list [3] instead; or remove their configuration entirely so they give a "page not found" browser error; or we can adapt missing.php so it gives a static error notice for wikimedia.org domains.
