           Summary: Make *.wap.wikipedia.org URLs redirect to
                    *.mobile.wikipedia.org
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://en.wap.wikipedia.org/
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: WAP mobile gateway
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Since we've deprecated the wap.wikipedia.org hostnames (for one thing it's not
accurate, we don't actually support WAP as an access protocol!) in favor of
*.mobile.wikipedia.org, it might be nice to issue HTTP redirects so people see
the new name.

Downside: higher latency for people actually using the old URLs.

Upside: better visibility for new URLs and better cachingness.

Should be a simple matter of tweaking Apache configuration so a separate vhost
handles the one and does redirects to the other.
