After deploying the security.txt file in T337949, we discovered that this folder is not serving any purpose. Therefore, we should remove docroot/wikimediafoundation.org/ folder from operations/mediawiki-config, as it should be managed through the WordPress installation.

Are you sure? I think it just hasn't been renamed...

wikimediafoundation.org definitely points to Automattic:

And none of those rewrite rules in the hieradata yaml appear to work for wikimediafoundation.org. Which make sense, given it's externally-hosted. So I'm not sure what any local wikimediafoundation.org config would actually be doing right now.

The wiki was moved to https://foundation.wikimedia.org as per the server_name, and is still used.
The name of the docroot folder is detached from the host that may be using it to serve anything

Ok, so wikimediafoundation.org and foundation.wikimedia.org are just kind of obnoxiously inter-tangled within our config right now. It'd be nice to remove any references to wikimediafoundation.org within the config and rename that docroot folder, but that almost feels like too much effort, especially if there's a chance it will accidentally break something.

If there’s nothing custom in that docroot folder (I haven’t checked as not at a computer atm), we can just update the config to use the standard one, and then drop it from mw-config later

Looks like all symlinks to the default dir? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config/+/refs/heads/master/docroot/wikimediafoundation.org/

Change #1036744 had a related patch set uploaded (by Reedy; author: Reedy):
[operations/puppet@production] hieradata/mediawiki.yaml: Move foundation.wm.o to wm.o docroot folder
Comment Actions
/docroot/wikimediafoundation.org/.well-known contains a matrix/server file.
If this is believed to no longer be needed, I recommend first explicitly deleting this in its own commit, with a commit message that explains why.
Comment Actions
I had a quick look, but I can't obviously see if the file needs to stay forever. I'm guessing it does, as it is a form of config for the domain for matrix...
{ "m.server": "wikimediafoundation.ems.host:443" }

Tagging Infrastructure-Foundations to get a definitive opinion on the matrix/server file mentioned above. I'm not sure why that would still be necessary when wikimediafoundation.org is a WP site fully-hosted at VIP/Automattic these days, but admittedly I don't have the ops knowledge to know for sure.

Codesearch: docroot/wikimediafoundation.org shows where it is used. It is used in the Apache configuration, next to other wikis and their docroots. This is the same Apache config that this task's associated patch is changing (instead of removing).
This means the above file is served from https://foundation.wikimedia.org/.well-known/matrix/server, which is a MediaWiki site that maps 1:1 to the wikimediafoundation.org docroot directory. wikimediafoundation.org from our perspective was indeed publicly renamed to foundation.wikimedia.org, but its internal wiki ID and docroot directory have not (yet) been renamed. I believe this task is about updating that.
Git says the file was added in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/631530 for T261531, where the message and task indicate that its intended address was foundation.wikimedia.org from the start, and presumably powering the current WMF Slack-Element bridge.
