https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/49069/ - needs review by ops

(In reply to comment #0)

When users are on wikidata.org (w/o the www.), they've had problems with
being
able to edit stuff.

http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066764.html says it also happens with the fake language subdomains.

Reedy just sync'ed this interwiki map change: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interwiki_map&diff=5271518&oldid=5227504

Dupe of bug 41847?

Also related: bug 44612.

How is this different from bug 41847?

As discussed we will close this bug (Verified in Wikidata demo sprint 34)

Re-opening this bug for now as I'm confused. The bug summary is "Always redirect wikidata.org to www.wikidata.org".

When I go to http://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page, I am not redirected to www.wikidata.org.

And the Gerrit changeset from comment 1 has not been merged (or abandoned).

fyi, this (and other Apache config / redirects) does not need ops (root). Everybody can submit a gerrit change and for deploying it you can also do it as regular shell user again, since we just fixed apache-graceful-all the other day, so that it also restarts Apaches in eqiad now.

how to check the config:

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/operations/apache-config

cd apache-config

grep wikidata *

Daniel: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/49069/

it's intended to treat wikidata like mediawiki.org, as far as apache config goes, although would like your review that my patch is good or suggestions.

It's not the best solution but might help, per https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41847#c30

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/55024/

We really need someone to review the apache change and get it fixed the *right* way.

• Bug 44707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

So, what's the latest intention here?

certain:
301 wikidata.org -> www.wikidata.org

what about (fake?) lang subdomains? redirect as well? 301 or 302?

302 {langcode}.wikidata.org/wiki/{Title} -> www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ItemByTitle/{langcode}wiki/{Title} would be awesome!

Wouldn't the expected behavior be something like

302 {langcode}.wikidata.org/wiki/{Title} ->
www.wikidata.org/wiki/{Title}?setlang={langcode}

This is although troublesome in those cases where Wikipedia do weird and unexpected things with the langcode, but that is also the case if the ItemByTitle is used.
