www subdomain not working

CLOSED This issue is closed by Nemo_bis

While the www subdomain is widely supported, many websites do without and there is a cost in supporting it.

Please amend When using Firefox at computers other than my own, I will type in "translatewiki + Shift + Enter" which the browser then redirects to http://www.translatewiki.net/ but that URI can't be found. Although the days of a "www" subdomain are long ago, it's still worth maintaining these to redirect to the proper https://translatewiki.net/

What version of Firefox is this? I've never seen such a behaviour.

Every version since at least 2.x has had this. Have you tried it?

Ah, I see now. I had missed the shift.

Is this the best place to post bugs? I don't see a Village Pump here, so I figure this is the most centralized discussion space.

DNS/Apache config needed? Who has the ops access to twn server?

I am not convinced this is worth the hurdles of adding DNS records and redirects and making sure HTTPS is not broken.

If you think that adding an HTTP redirect is too difficult then that is definitely a problem. I'm 100% certain that there are incoming links which include a www subdomain so if you want incoming viewers to think the site is still functional, I would recommend adding it.

Redirects are hard nowadays, yes. See for instance phabricator:T133548. Closed.

Well, several dozen of them certainly are. Much harder than one to be sure. I don't see how no response--not even a 404 page--is preferable but that's where that incoming traffic will go: nowhere http://isup.me/www.translatewiki.net
