Users often confuse the country code tj (Tajikistan) with the correct language code tg (Tajik). To improve usability and reduce confusion, please consider adding a redirect from tj.*.org to tg.*.org.
There is existing precedent for such redirects:
jp.*.org → ja.*.org (Japan → Japanese)
dk.*.org → da.*.org (Denmark → Danish)
cz.*.org → cs.*.org (Czech Republic → Czech)
Adding tj → tg would be consistent with these and help users reach the correct language domain more reliably.
Note for the record that tj is not a valid language code, so there isn't (currently) any conflict with a hypothetical tj-language wiki
I support this. For just a bit more context, @zolfeqar brought it up in a conversation with me at the Central Asian WikiCon in Tashkent, and I suggested that he create this task.
Added serviceops because this would have to be added in Apache/appserver redirects (as opposed to redirecting entire domains in ncredir service, which would be traffic).
(modules/mediawiki/files/apache/sites/redirects/redirects.dat vs. modules/ncredir/files/nc_redirects.dat. The existing redirects mentioned here, like "jp -> ja" are in the former.)

[operations/puppet@production] mediawiki/apache: redirect tj.*.org to tg.*.org for all projects
Ah, I realized when cross-checking https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1148981 against DNS that the tj records have not been added yet there.
For this to work as expected, we'll also need to add tj to the list in [0] in order to create the necessary per-project CNAME records.
This of course can (and indeed should), happen after configuring the redirects.
