2001 screenshot on Wikipedia25.org uses the wrong domain
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

On https://wikipedia25.org/en/improving-software-and-readability, the screenshots attempt to emulation what it looked like at the time but all three screenshots use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B... (for the 'Biology' page)

Since the English Wikipedia was at www.wikipedia.com until August 2002 (and moved to the en subdomain a couple of months later)

Also HTTPS wasn't natively supported until 2011

The 2001 one should be http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/B...

And the 2005 one should technically be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi...

Also the bottom of the mobile web one should probably be cut off so you can't see it's Safari on the Wayback Machine

@Nintendofan885 thank you for the input! I was actually had the same concerns/questions, but did not have the capability to research and verify the domains/https availability. I will update those once I get the opportunity

Latest version of April 6th has been deployed which might have fixed this. Please take a look if it did and this ticket is resolved.

Looks like the domains are still currently as described in the task description:

Technically this task is still valid since the microsite is still online and the problem is not fixed there. I now filed a task to undeploy it: T436497: Redirect wikipedia25.org to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_25

Please bring it up directly with owners of the project in comms department, if possible. They can update content and deploy or say if declined.
