en.wikivoyage.com appears to serve up Wikivoyage-old's content, but from

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(a)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
