FWIW, here's the status quo. The English wiki is at:
   www.wikipedia.org

The following use 301 'temporarily moved' redirects to point to the 
above, and are suitable for linking. Since you end up at the above 
address, it is shown in the browser's URL bar and cookies stay at that 
address:
   wikipedia.com
   wikipedia.org
   www.wikipedia.com
   en.wikipedia.org

The following should be in the above group but aren't yet because we 
forgot it existed:
   en.wikipedia.com
