:Hi Toni. Having a redirection would be nice for most of the users. The problem is: if we switch, users who still don't have got their password per email will be stuck. For this reason, we should IMO wait many monthes, maybe a year, before shutting done completly uk.wikimedia.org and put a redirection.

Discuss the migration here...
mw:Extension:MediaWikiAuth
Randomly stumbled on the site and saw the sitenotice. Have you looked into using mw:Extension:MediaWikiAuth to automatically migrate accounts, preferences, watchlists? Legoktm (talk) 09:14, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Legoktm. It looks like the extension is in beta and not much activity has been tracked on the git... That's why I felt unconfortable with it. Do you know more about the stability/robustness of this extension? You have maybe a few example of successful migrations using it? Kelson (talk) 12:48, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
New domain name
"www.wikimedia.org.uk"? one would hope that "wikimedia.org.uk" will also work (typing those four extra characters is soul-destroying ;-P ) --AlisonW (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2013 (UTC) ps. good luck.
- "wikimedia.org.uk" should redirect to "wiki.wikimedia.org.uk", and AFAIK this works. Kelson (talk) 18:42, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
SSL
Should login'd user default to SSL connection in a similar way as on WMF wiki? -- KTC (talk) 20:36, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Redirection from old URLs to new URLs
When will uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/whatever start redirecting to wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/whatever ? Thanks. --Toni Sant (WMUK) (talk) 12:21, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Toni. Having a redirection would be nice for most of the users. The problem is: if we switch, users who still don't have got their password per email will be stuck. For this reason, we should IMO wait many monthes, maybe a year, before shutting done completly uk.wikimedia.org and put a redirection. Kelson (talk) 07:18, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
- If it's possible to access the old wiki under a new URL, and then redirect uk.wikimedia.org ? -- Katie Chan (WMUK) (talk) 09:08, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
