Provided this on wikitech-l, too:
Looks like the user pageviews for
wap.wikipedia.org and
mobile.wikipedia.org subdomains
are approximately 0.02% of the size of pageviews for
m.wikipedia.org subdomains
based on a recent one day check.

There's a ticket for removing

wap.wikipedia.org
domains/subdomains, which are legacy domain names superseded by
m.wikipedia.org and its subdomains.

The rationale for the removal of these legacy domain names is to help
support HSTS preloading in browsers with the existing TLS SAN cert.
After review of the ticket, can anyone think of a compelling reason to
keep those old domain names?
I opened a separate thread about this on wikitech-l under a different
subject about this as well.
