How do we maintain the redirects for LL.wiki for the two-letter language
codes?
I recall these were gifted as a set to wikimedia, but currently don't seem
to work.
We have en-wp.org for English, but it is also not configured properly:
en-wp.org/TLDs redirects to en.wikipedia.org/TLDs and returns the error
We could not find the above page on our servers.
*Did you mean: /wiki/TLDs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABCC11>*

Dear Wikimedians around the world
With a profound sense of loss and deep sadness, we mourn the unexpected
passing of our esteemed colleague, Wilson Kelechi Oluoha, who passed away
on 13th September in Nigeria due to a sudden deadly health emergency.
Wilson was a tireless advocate for Igbo, Nigerian and African culture and
voices on the global Wikimedia Projects, intrinsically involved with
several Wikimedia groups across Africa, including Wiki In Africa
<https://www.wikiinafrica.org/>, Igbo Wikimedians User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Igbo_Wikimedians_User_Gr…>,
and Wikimedia Community User Group Nigeria
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Community_User…>
[1].
As the project and community facilitator of Wiki Loves Africa
<https://www.wikilovesafrica.net/>, Wilson was a dedicated team member
and, as a Wikimedian, a passionate advocate for open knowledge and African
representation in the digital space. Wilson's leadership in the Nigeria
Wikimedia community and the Wiki In Africa projects was invaluable to the
expansion and development of the Wikimedia movement in Africa.
Wilson's passion for open access to knowledge, his skills as an amateur
photographer, and his dedication to the Wikimedia movement have left an
indelible mark on our organisations and the broader Wikimedia community.
Beyond Wikimedia, he was a passionate cyclist, public speaker, and lover of
jazz and the music of yesteryear.
His loss is deeply felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside
him, both those who knew him personally and who worked with him remotely.
The untimely death of Wilson Kelechi Oluoha is a significant loss not only
for his family and loved ones but for the entire Wikimedia community. Our
sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies are extended to his wife,
Mercy, family, friends, and colleagues.
Wilson’s family has set up a memorial website for Wilson
<https://www.forevermissed.com/wilsonoluoha/about> where we encourage you
to leave a condolence message or share a tribute.
