Daniel Zahn of Wikimedia Foundation's Operations group asked me to please forward this to the Indian Wikimedia community. I hope this improvement helps people find Indian Wikipedias and helps them learn about the Wikimedia India chapter. Comments, concerns, and suggestions are welcome, as Daniel details below. Cheers, Sumana Harihareswara -------- Original Message -------- Subject: indiawikipedia.com Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 15:23:44 -0800 From: Daniel Zahn <dzahn(a)wikimedia.org> To: Sumana Harihareswara <sumanah(a)wikimedia.org> Hello Wikimedia India, fyi, ops/legal at WMF acquired the domain: http://indiawikipedia.com and redirects it (for now) to: http://wikimedia.in/wikipedia.html It was a really old ticket on our side to get that domain name and it went through legal, then we had it for a while but never redirected it anywhere, and now we just decided to use the target above because that seemed to make the most sense. (after all it is indiawikiPedia.com and not indiawikiMedia.com) A long term goal i suggested would be to get wikipedia.in as well and redirect it there. A little while ago, like end of February, that was still active but full of advertising, and now it's disappeared. If you have any comments/questions/ideas you can open a Bugzilla ticket or even look at the Apache config directly and suggest changes. Please mention "RT-1395" for reference. The relevant changes are: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/52141/1/redirects.conf https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/52152/ Best regards, Daniel -- Daniel Zahn <dzahn(a)wikimedia.org> Operations Engineer _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
