Bug ID: 48394
Summary: Wikivoyage.org mobile redirect leads to non existing
pages
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Apache configuration

Originally reported (as far as I know ) at
http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub#Android:_wikivoyage.org_redirects_to_www.m.wikivoyage.org_which_does_not_exist
Essentially google still finds www.wikivoyage.org urls for some of it's
searches (I assume because of old link juice) especially if you're looking for
wikivoyage specific urls with a "wikivoyage X" type search. The easiest search
to use to recreate the issue is "wikivoyage austria" (I've tried a couple other
searches and don't always have the issue this one is pretty consistent).
This is fine for the desktop site because www.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austraia
redirects to en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austria (or possibly other languages
depending on where you come from). However on mobile this redirects to
www.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austraia which does not exist and so finishes at a
dead end page.
