Bug ID: 47807
Summary: Various mobile pages consistently redirect to
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Missing_wiki
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MobileFrontend
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
A friend showed me their Android phone where the following could be reproduced:
searching for certain terms in Google provided a link to the relevant page
under en.m.wikipedia.org, which, when clicked, first sent the browser to the
relevant page, which then redirected to
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Missing_wiki , which does not exist.
Given the number of cache poisoning bugs we've had in the mobile varnishes,
this sequence did not surprise me. What did somewhat surprise me was that when
I grepped for the relevant URL in the configuration files, I couldn't find it.
But the request logs on emery confirm that this is happening very regularly,
e.g.
sq61.wikimedia.org 3860736 2013-04-28T06:52:16.463 0 1.2.3.4
TCP_NEGATIVE_HIT/404 5619 GET
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Missing_wiki NONE/- text/html

Potentially personally identifying information has been stripped from the
referrer and IP field of this log line. You can find the original data in
sampled-1000.tsv.log on emery.
missing.php generates redirects to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Missing_wiki
, which also appears in the logs for mobile browsers. Perhaps something is
rewriting that redirect to wikimediafoundation.org.
