Description

Like T86915, while investigating T74674, I found that most of the nb subdomain redirects are pointing at the wrong wiki, and many landing pages even say we dont have a Bokmal wiki.

Of course, nb.wikipedia.org perfectly points to http://no.wikipedia.org.

However, nb.wikt, nb.wq, nb.wb, and nb,wy all point to the incubator, which says "A [wiki] in this language does not exist."

nb.wikiversity should redirect to http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Hovedside

And nb.wikisource points to http://wikisource.org , when it should redirect to http://no.wikisource.org.

Not sure either if this is still site-requests level (shell) or already lower on DNS level (ops). I think it's still the first.

Some good background re no/nb on T14317.

Resolving this task involves a patch for the apache configuration in puppet (under redirects.conf). Removing WikimediaIncubator extension as it is unrelated.

Rather than doing this by an apache config, I think we should let missing.php handle this. We won't have to make changes whenever a new no wiki is created then.

It's not DNS. dns/templates/helpers/langs.tmpl contains both, "no" and "nb". This is used by dns/templates/helpers/langlist.tmpl to generate the zone files for the projects.

For example in the template for wiktionary.org:

39 ; All languages will automatically be included here
40 {{ geolanglist('text-addrs') }}

If you grep automatically * in the templates you will see how other projects do this as well.

So the entries should really exist for both in all projects (as long as they include the global langlist).

nb.wikinews.org -> no.wikinews.org is missing indeed

Although https://nb.wikinews.org doesn't actually exist, it just redirects to incubator.

@Krenair yes, we should add that redirect as well
