IIRC we used to have the alternative URL
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikinews/fa/wiki/
in order to access
but it seems that these were turned into redirects, probably when the https switch happened.
Would it be an idea to not make them redirects but return the content on the wikimedia domain, or, even better, on the wikipedia domain (and maybe any of our domains) as well?

It had started with Wikimedia Commons and then upload.wikimedia.org (so
no

of
ISPs all WM websites are blocked everywhere. Obviously analytics can give more details.
I talked with legal team in Wikimania and asked them for a direct talk or any kind of negotiation with Iranian government to make things easier but It's going worse. they lifted block on CNN once Rouhani had interview
with
them two years ago.
Any ideas?
