If I search Google on a mobile device for "donate wikimedia" "donate wikipedia" or similar, then the search results point to https://donate.m.wikimedia.org/. This domain doesn't exist, we only have https://donate.wikimedia.org/.
 |  |
Google on desktop does point to the correct domain. DuckDuckGo and Bing both seem to work fine on mobile, so this might just be a Google problem

We decided to redirect all donate.m to donate in VCL since before adding the DNS change for donate.m, it wasn't really pointing to anything so it should be fine and helps factor in any other corner-cases as well.

^ While we can maintain the VCL-level hacks for now, it would be best to both dig into how this actually happened (most likely, we ourselves emitted donate.m links from a wiki, probably donatewiki itself?), and to come up with a permanent solution at the application layer (fix the wiki to support these links properly and directly). We don't want to keep accumulating hacks like these in our already-overly-complex VCL code if unwarranted.

Indeed, it came from us in this way:
This was actually reported in T321520 a few years ago, but worked around with CSS. However, that doesn't change the HTML, and most importantly it doesn't change the <link> metadata which tells Google to prefer that URL in results shown to mobile users of Google Search.
This has been fixed in two ways:
