So am I correct to think that nobody will ever
*run*across*
<larousse.wikipedia.org> -- that is, they'll never find it
without typing in "larousse" at some point themselves?
Oh sure they will, if they're reading the mailing list archives, if
they're reading Wikipedia History pages which talk about our servers,
if they're subscribed to wikitech-l and we talk about doing something
on larousse, etc. But nobody's advertising anything like "Visit
larousse.wikipedia.org, the free encyclopedia!" Nor are we slapping
URLs links to
larousse.wikipedia.org all over everything. We are not
using "Larousse" as a business name, nor as a product name, nor as the
name of a service we offer. It's just a cuter, easier to remember way
of referring to "the computer reachable at 130.94.122.199".
If any of the temporary links directly on
larousse.wikipedia.org found
their way into search engines, they should be gradually removed by the
present redirect to
www.wikipedia.org.
