--- Comment #8 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> ---
You should have a single canonical URL form. Either: http://www.foo.com/ or
http://foo.com/. Trying to have both is annoying and bad practice.

Choose one or the other and configure your Web server to 301 on requests to the
non-canonical form. For example, if you pick "www.", every URL in the form of
http://foo.com will 301 (permanently redirect) to http://www.foo.com. You can
verify that this works with simple cURL requests.

Once you pick a canonical form of your URL, ensure that $wgServer inside
LocalSettings.php knows what it is.

I don't think there's a valid bug here. I think the inconsistent behavior
you're seeing is that certain browsers are smart and try to guess the URL you
intended in certain situations (they know that sysadmins forget to configure
www. vs. no-www access).

But if you still think there's a valid bug in MediaWiki [templates?] here,
please explain further. :-)
