Redirect uk.wikimedia.org to wikimedia.org.uk
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Forwarding from https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56938 .
WMUK has migrated its wiki from the WMF datacenter to its own server. At this
occasion the URL has changed from uk.wikimedia.org to wikimedia.org.uk.
Currently, the old wiki has a banner explaining about this move, but we would
appreciate a direct redirection because:
* We still have users which got lost
* Search engines still point to uk.wikimedia.org
So, this feature request is about:
* Redirecting uk.wikimedia.org to wikimedia.org.uk (HTTP redirection)
* Moving uk.wikimedia.org wiki to ukold.wikimedia.org (we still need this wiki
online for late user migrations)
Closing the corresponding Bugzilla ticket after this has been fixed is welcome.
