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

Hello Wikimedia India,
fyi, ops/legal at WMF acquired the domain:
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
Thanks, good to know!

Hi Sumana - please direct all communications concerning legal matters to the Wikimedia India chapter directly as these matters may not be suitable for discussion on a public mailing list. Thanks, ASB.
