I visited en.wikivoyage.com by mistake, and dicocvered that en.wikivoyage.com appears to serve up Wikivoyage-old's content, but from 188.40.41.16, which whois identifies as being in the netblock HETZNER-RZ10 operated by Hetzner Online AG.
I guess this should be the wikivoyage eV servers.
(...) Even more puzzlingly, the PTR record for 188.40.41.16 currently points to wikivoyage.org.
This is probably the legacy configuration from wikivoyage eV servers.
Ah. That would make sense, and explains the PTR record.
Note PTR isn't involved in the process to redirect web requests from domain name to the server, only A records (or AAAA in IPv6 world).
Yes, I know this. ;)
Can anyone cast any light on this? Is this officially sanctioned by the wikivoyage/Wikimedia communities?
So in a nutshell, Wikivoyage were hosted on Wikivoyage eV servers and it seems they registered wikivoyage.com too.
This domain hasn't been involved in the transfer operation.
You can contact Stefan Fussan at vorstand@wikivoyage-ev.org (I'm ccing this mail) to get more information about that.
What would you suggest exactly? Than wikivoyage.com is transfered to the fundation and redirect to wikivoyage.org, like we do with wikipedia.com?
Yes, that all makes sense, and your suggestion seems to me to be the best way to proceed.
I can't see any problem here, given the above.
Thanks for clarifying things,
Neil
