What if more projects start asking for this? Can we make a DNS change
so that all domains point to the same place? Then we don't need
redirects.

Of course the redirect alone will not make it work anyways, since there is no
DNS entry for status.wp yet.

Can someone please create that CNAME entry for status.wikipedia.org to
status.wikimedia.org ?

after IRC talk with Faidon and Hashar we decided we don't want this, or every
project will ask for it and multiple names might actually cause more confusion
than not doing it.
removed from DNS and Apache conf
won't fix

Status changed from 'open' to 'rejected' by dzahn
